Berlin Hospital

ZOAR is a residence in Berlin for the handicapped and mentally disabled. Most patients there suffer from Huntington's Syndrome, a physical and mental degenerative illness caused by a genetic defect of chromosome IV. It usually erupts at the average age of 38 and affects the motor system, resulting in psychosis, schizophrenia and other severe mental illnesses. There is no cure for it right now.
