George Z @Gzaver Jan 13 Swiss writer-director, Petra Volpe’s solid day-in-the-life work day of an overworked nurse in an understaffed Swiss hospital during the night shift. 
An immersive drama, that feels like a documentary. 
Starring a terrific Leonie Benesch, who I loved in (Teachers' Lounge) 
There is no back story, like HBOs excellent "The Pitt" series, it’s a slice of working life in a hospital. 
A love letter to nurses whose jobs are in short supply worldwide. John Lennon once sang, "A Working Class Hero is something to be. If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me."

See more Fong Kok Hoong F @RT29722865 Dec 23 In German, the original title HELDIN means "heroine" and this Switzerland‘s Oscar submission for 98th Academy Awards is a heartfelt tribute to the overworked nurses in understaffed hospitals all over the world as the camera follows one of them on a regular working night as she attends to a marathon of responsibilities akin to navigating menacing circumstances in a thriller. See more Vince Q. @Vincedeq Nov 6 Starring Leonie Benesch. Taught, driving performance delivers the enormity of the responsibilities of the shift nurse. Benesch gives us a performance to rival her work in Babylon Berlin (2017) and The Teacher’s Lounge (2023), where she garnered the equivalent of a German Academy Award.
