Description
Rebecca Stark es una brillante psiquiatra de Londres que ha desarrollado un innovador sistema para sanar a los pacientes de sus obsesiones. El método Stark es tan efectivo que uno de sus pacientes, el magnate ruso Grigory Ivanov, decide confiar a Rebecca la gestión de Sunrise, la primera de una serie de clínicas de vanguardia dispersas por todo el mundo que ayudan a las personas a curarse de cualquier adicción. Después de una campaña publicitaria que da la vuelta al planeta, se abre el primer centro en Italia, en Puglia, dentro de una antigua casa de campo restaurada, rodeada de campos y olivos. Un lugar perfecto para recibir pacientes que, como parte integral del tratamiento, tendrán que trabajar, cocinar y dedicarse a otras tareas domésticas, viviendo pues en una comunidad aislada, con plena privacidad. De entre los cientos de solicitudes que llegan para entrar en Sunrise, son seleccionados siete candidatos de diferentes países: Lena Weber, obsesionada con la perfección física; Jian Chow, diseñador web y hacker voyeur; Rosa Bernasconi, una chica adicta a la tecnología; Claudio Carrara, jugador compulsivo; Julie Arnaud, ninfómana; Tim Parker, comerciante adicto a la cocaína; y finalmente Jessica De Groot. Al principio de la terapia todo parece ir de la mejor manera posible, pero pronto algunos pacientes desaparecen misteriosamente. Así que empiezan a separar a los pacientes, vigilándoles en todo momento para que no escapen y evitando cualquier contacto con el exterior, dando lugar a un macabro juego que acabará con un desenlace sorprendente.
Description
On Christmas Eve 1994, following the signal of a sparkler fired in a forest in Offenburg, Germany, the body of a man was found in the snow. He has been beheaded and has both hands amputated. Today, Rebecca Stark is a brilliant London psychiatrist who has developed an innovative system to heal patients of their obsessions. The Stark method is so effective that one of his patients, Russian mogul Grigory Ivanov, decides to entrust Rebecca with managing Sunrise, the first in a series of state-of-the-art clinics scattered around the world that help people heal from whatever. addiction. After an advertising campaign that goes around the planet, the first center in Italy opens, in Puglia, inside an old restored farmhouse, surrounded by fields and olive trees. A perfect place to receive patients who, as an integral part of the treatment, will have to work, cook and dedicate themselves to other domestic tasks, thus living in an isolated community, with full privacy. Among the hundreds of applications that arrive to enter Sunrise, seven candidates from different countries are selected: Lena Weber, obsessed with physical perfection; Jian Chow, web designer and voyeur hacker; Rosa Bernasconi, a girl addicted to technology; Claudio Carrara, compulsive gambler; Julie Arnaud, nympho; Tim Parker, a cocaine-addicted businessman; and finally Jessica De Groot, who injures herself. At the beginning of the therapy everything seems to be going in the best way possible, but soon some patients mysteriously disappear. So they begin to separate the patients, watching over them at all times so that they do not escape and avoiding any contact with the outside, leading to a macabre game that ends with a surprising outcome.
