Watch An Exclusive Clip For Late Shift, Starring Leonie Benesch
Powerful hospital drama Late Shift starring Leonie Benesch, this coming Friday in UK cinemas. And to celebrate its release, Vertigo Releasing has kindly sent us this exclusive clip in which Nurse Floria (Benesch) is under pressure on her rounds. A male patient jokes sarcastically about her timekeeping, as we know they are understaffed on the ward.
Our writer Lucy Carter watched the film and called it “A brilliant piece of cinema!”Nurse Floria works with passion and professionalism in the surgical ward of a Swiss hospital. Her every move is precise. She has an open ear for patients, even in the most stressful situations, and is immediately on hand in an emergency – ideally. But in the harsh reality of her daily routine, things are often unpredictable. When she starts her late shift one day, a colleague is absent from the fully occupied, understaffed ward. Amidst the hustle and pressure, Floria looks after a seriously ill young mother and an elderly man desperately waiting for his diagnosis, with the same care and diligence as a private patient. But as the night progresses, her work becomes an ever more urgent race against time.
LATE SHIFT explores the timely theme of healthcare challenges and pays homage to nursing staff, underscoring the profound significance of compassionate care for all. Volpe’s compelling film is led by a revelatory performance from lead actress Leonie Benesch in this powerful and topical drama
Late Shift will be in UK and Irish cinemas from August 1st.
