5: Recovery
Bruce Anderson lies unconscious in Recovery. In his chest beats the heart of a young road traffic victim. From his body protrude drainage tubes. Machines perform the work of his lungs. A small dot travelling across a screen indicates that he is still alive. But nurses monitor his state anxiously. This film charts the 48 hours of progress that follow the operation when, to the wonderment of his wife Kay, Bruce Anderson begins the long journey back to life.
