Impossible Maladies

Synopsis

Aboard their cart, Dr. Rhubarb and assistant Cough travel from house to house to cure absurd diseases with their innovative remedies. Loosely inspired by 18th-century prints and cartoons about fear of disease and doctors, an exploration of the mystery of healing and thaumaturgy.
