On the shores of Odesa in Southern Ukraine lies the imposing Kuyalnik Sanatorium, a crumbling Soviet era health facility that’s seen better days. Over a summer season the ever-dwindling guests come for the rejuvenating mud treatments, electroshock therapies, in search of love, healing and happiness.

Sanatorium captures unique personal moments, with tenderness and humour and shines a spotlight on the unusual beauty of a worse-for-wear Brutalist building and the uniquely human journey of trying to get the most out of a life.
