The Kingdom Hospital is full of strange inhabitants. Neurosurgeon Stig Helmer is desperate to destroy evidence of his unsuccessful brain operation on a little Danish girl. Rigmor, the consultant anaesthetist, has a fascination for Haiti and voodoo magic. Junior registrar Krogshøj is worried about Judith, the love of his life, who is pregnant and is expanding at an abnormal rate. As if that weren’t enough, the eternal patient Mrs. Drusse is trying to solve a mystery of a spirit of a little girl who died a ghastly death in 1919 and haunts the elevator shaft.
