A mother searches a hospital ward for her estranged son and finds instead a daughter. What could have played out as a conventional drama, shot on a soundstage or on location in a real-life hospital is instead acted out in the open, in crowded squares and on busy streets, with members of the public playing an unwitting part in the drama that unfurls.
