English Summary:

In 1969, Dr. Malcolm Sayer (Robin Williams) is a dedicated, genuine, and caring physician at a local hospital in the Bronx borough of New York City. After working extensively with the catatonic patients who survived the 1917–1928 epidemic of encephalitis lethargica, Sayer discovers certain stimuli will reach beyond the patients' respective catatonic states; actions such as catching a ball, hearing familiar music, being called by their own name, and experiencing human touch all have unique effects on particular patients and offer a glimpse into their worlds. Leonard Lowe (Robert De Niro) proves elusive in this regard, but Sayer soon discovers that Leonard is able to communicate with him by using a Ouija board.

After attending a lecture at a conference on the subject of the L-Dopa drug and its success with patients suffering from Parkinson's disease, Sayer believes the drug may offer a breakthrough for his own group of patients. A trial run with Leonard yields astounding results: Leonard completely "awakens" from his catatonic state. This success inspires Sayer to ask for funding from donors so that all the catatonic patients can receive the L-Dopa medication and experience "awakenings" back to reality.

Hungarian Summary:

A visszahúzódó, inkább kutatóorvosnak, mint gyakorló pszichiáternek való Dr. Malcolm Sayer a Baibridge-i Kórház ideggyógyászatára kerül. Az osztályon szinte teljesen öntudatlan, gyermekkoruk óta tetszhalott állapotban lévő betegeket kezelnek. Bár nem tudnak beszélni és érzelmeiket, gondolataikat más módon adják környezetük tudtára, Sayer meg van győződve róla, hogy ezek az emberek "odabenn mégis élnek". A lelkes orvos egy olyan új gyógyszert fedez fel, amellyel a betegeket vissza lehet hozni őket az életbe. Csodálatos ébredésnek lehetünk tanúi.
