After each screening of the four programs, audience members can cast their vote for their favorite film in the program, and if they predict the actual Oscar winner, they are eligible to win a prize awarded by the cinema.

As her lover from the West plots her escape, Barbara waits patiently and avoids friendships with her colleagues-except for Andre, the hospital's head physician.
