Eugen (2019)

Katariina Aule’s movie tells a story about a germaphobe named Eugen, whom, while visiting the doctor,  has to face difficult situations while trying to cope with his fear of bacteria.

Germophobe Eugen (Ingvar Toomas Heamägi) is confronted with several dangerous sources of bacteria during his medical visit in the hospoital. As he travels down the aisle, he keeps bumping into Toomas, a construction worker with dirty work clothes, nonexistent hygiene and awful manners. To top it off, Eugen has to wait with him at the office door. Soon the doctor arrives in a rush, accidentally dropping the medical records in a hurry. Toomas helps to collect them, causing an even bigger mess with the papers. After the construction worker has left the cabinet in a good mood, Dr. Rutt comes to inform Eugen of his lung cancer. An upset Eugen, who has been avoiding germs for his whole life, tries to get out of the hospital as quickly as possible. On his way out, he meets Toomas again as he reaches out to help Eugen who has just slipped and fallen. After a muddy handshake, Eugen and Toomas are both on their way with their dirty hands, one happy and the other sad. When the doctor finally arrives to clear her mistake, both patients are already on their way, not knowing about the mixed up diagnoses.
