A sick doctor, a highly sensitive code and the solace of art: While our protagonist is going through the unemotional diagnostic algorithm of mainstream medicine in order to find the right medicine for his depression, he also seeks assurance and solace in the artistic perspective; hoping that at some point in time he will be able to make peace with his dark gene, which all but destroyed his life.The search for  the origin of his depression confronts the protagonist with existential questions and bizarre business models as well as guiding him into breath-taking worlds of imagery and sound.
