Red Code: in emergency rooms, this means danger of death. In the Red Room a team made up of two doctors, a graduate student and a nurse work to keep patients alive or to bring them back to life. The sliding door is the border between emergency and normality, but normality is absurd and death is only a moment in the flow of life.
"This docu-fiction was made after I was a "participating" observer for five months in a place where the absolutes of life and death become relative. What relationship do they have with life? How much can they leave behind in the Red Room when their shift is up and how much do they take home with them? What does it mean to constantly work between life and death? What does it mean to get used to death?" (S. Costanzo)..
