Nurse (and single mum) Fiona, played by Leonie Benesch, works the night shift at her badly understaffed Swiss hospital. As the work piles up, the chaos and pressure of her job begin to take their toll. A cross between Casualty and an Aaron Sorkin film, Late Shift is a tight, absorbing and engaging exploration of the gradual accumulation of stress until breaking point. This tense but compassionate drama uses the techniques of a thriller to highlight the precarious state of modern healthcare. With a detailed and authentic lead performance from Benesch, it is a tribute to exhausted nurses everywhere.
