Late Shift

Heldin

Petra Volpe  ·  Switzerland / Germany  ·  2025

Floria is a surgical ward nurse one shift short on her Swiss hospital floor. What starts as a manageable night of routine care — medication rounds, bedside reassurance, the small intimacies of shared mortality — slides into a race against understaffing, bureaucracy, and the creeping panic of being the only person able to catch a critical error. Petra Volpe's Berlinale 2025 premiere, anchored by Leonie Benesch's extraordinary single-take performance, is a procedural that turns into a cri-de-coeur for healthcare workers.
