 Severely injured circus performer Arie Velzen is brought in after falling. A detective comes into the ICU, suspecting that the Arie s partner Joost, whom he had a conflict with, sabotaged his performance gear. The ICU staff know better- the man tried to commit suicide because his life insurance would help the circus pay for its huge debts- but can t say anything because Arie doesn t want them to tell his family, and the staff have to follow the rules of doctor/patient confidentiality.
