Late Shift
OVER THE COURSE OF HER OVERNIGHT HOSPITAL SHIFT, A NURSE IS PUSHED TO THE BRINK.
With a warm smile and a positive attitude, Floria arrives at the surgical ward of the Swiss hospital where she works the overnight shift. With one colleague out sick and no replacement on deck, just two nurses and a nervous trainee will have to cover more than two dozen patients — and the doctors to whom they're supposed to defer are nowhere to be found. Every second counts, and every interruption could mean the difference between life and death.
One of the highest-rated films of all time on Letterboxd by a woman director. Director Petra Volpe (“The Divine Order”) uses real-time tension to examine the emotional cost of frontline care work and the quiet, unglamorous triumph of keeping people alive in a pitiless system. Perfect for "The Pitt" fans seeking the same controlled chaos of medical-procedural realism.
Languages: German. English subtitles available.
