Despertares
04/12/1990
O Dr. Malcolm Sayer é um tímido médico de pesquisa, que utiliza um medicamento experimental para "despertar" vítimas catatónicas de uma doença rara. Leonard é o primeiro paciente a receber o controverso tratamento. O seu despertar, cheio de espanto e entusiasmo, prova ser um renascimento também para Sayer, à medida que o exuberante paciente revela os pequenos, mas relevantes, prazeres da vida ao introvertido doutor. Encorajado pela fantástica recuperação de Leonard, Sayer administra o medicamento a outros pacientes.
