You can see the scenery, just go ahead and see the story.

The picture is very cool. . The first half is secretive, all kinds of metaphors, originally thought to allude to dirty capital and sick society. . Might as well have an ending when Rakha is taken back to the sanitarium.
The back story is complete: the strange fish lives in a special aquifer under the sanatorium for three hundred years. Two hundred years ago, the baron was determined to create a pure life. He wanted to marry his own sister as his wife, use the people to do experiments, hang the priest, and on the wedding night, the angry people burned the castle together.
The Baron's sister was pregnant at the time, and the baby was thrown into the aquifer and survived; so did the disfigured Baron.
A hundred years ago (1912), the baron rebuilt the castle, using the guise of a sanatorium to attract rich people without relatives to continue his research, using strange fish to extract the life of patients to create life essence, and use this to win over to establish an evil organization. The baby Hannah of that year developed slowly and needed to take life essence for a long time. The baron waited for the day when Hannah matured, and then forced her to create a purer life. He was destroyed by the male protagonist and resisted by the female protagonist. Killed, the nursing home burned, and the two fled. . . .

A Cure for Wellness quotes

  • Pembroke: [Lockhart reading his letter] To my fellow-members of the Board. A man cannot unsee the truth. He cannot willingly return to darkness, or go blind once he has the gift of sight, any more than he can be unborn. We are the only species capable of self-reflection. The only species with the toxin of self-doubt written into our genetic code. Unequal to our gifts, we build, we buy, we consume. We wrap us in the illusion of material success. We cheat and deceive as we claw our way to the pinnacle of what we define as achievement. Superiority to other men.

  • Pembroke: [Lockhart now reading the letter sitting at boardroom table] There is a sickness inside us. Rising like the bile that leaves that bitter taste at the back of our throats. It's there in every one of you seated around the table. We deny its existence until one day the body rebels against the mind and screams out, "I am not a well man." No doubt you will think only of the merger. That unclean melding of two equally diseased institutions. But the truth cannot be ignored. For only when we know what ails us can we hope to find the cure. I will not return. Do not attempt to contact me again. Sincerely, Roland E. Pembroke.

    Hank Green: Well, Mr. Lockhart, what do you make of that?

    Lockhart: Clearly he's lost his mind.

    Wilson: Our thought exactly.

    Hollis: Man goes for two-week spa vacation and has a complete mental breakdown.

    Humphrey: [viewing his smartphone] Who the hell takes the waters in the 21st century anyway?
