Über diesen Titel
For more than thirty years, Leonard was described as asleep.
It was an easier word than awake.
Inside a long-term hospital ward, his body stopped responding, while his mind never did.
He listened to decades pass.
Wars announced on the radio.
Elections, disasters, voices aging around him.
This episode traces the forgotten aftermath of encephalitis lethargica — a neurological mystery that left thousands conscious but immobile, present but unreachable.
It follows Leonard’s life inside stillness, and the fragile medical awakening brought on by L-Dopa decades later.
There is no clean recovery here.
No satisfying cure.
Only a reminder that awareness and agency are not the same thing — and that survival can mean staying behind while the world moves on.
Some stories end quietly.
This one never really moved at all.
