Late Shift

Set across a single twelve-hour late shift in a Zurich hospital, this deeply compelling medical drama follows Floria (Leonie Benesch, The Teachers’ Lounge) as she works against staff shortages, stumbling interns and demanding patients to deliver life-changing care.

With our health service pushed to its limits, Late Shift is regrettably as resonant here as in Switzerland. A social drama with real drive – think Two Days, One Night in the context of This is Going to Hurt – Late Shift dramatises the medical crisis but leaves no easy answers once the hectic, tightly edited night shift from hell is over.
