About Anatomy 2
Jo Hauser is a doctor who also plays soccer in his spare time. He moves to Berlin to take an internship at a renowned clinic, hoping the experience will sharpen his skills and let him help his disabled brother Willi. In Berlin he joins a secret circle of physicians led by Prof. Muller-LaRousse, a figure who dreams of advancing human performance through experimental methods. The group volunteers for the studies, while Paula Henning quietly investigates their ethics. Jo becomes involved with Viktoria, a Filipino nurse, and is drawn into the drug regimens used in the trials. As the façade of medical progress clings to respectability, Jo begins to question what is really going on behind closed doors within a circle.
