The shocking hit film about overworked nurses that’s causing alarm across Europe

The news article discusses a Swiss film, "Late Shift," that portrays the challenges faced by overworked nurses in the healthcare system. The film, directed by Petra Volpe, imagines the consequences of a missed shift on a busy night at a hospital, highlighting the impending global shortage of 13 million nurses by the end of the decade. The film's protagonist, Floria, played by German actor Leonie Benesch, is a dedicated yet exhausted nurse whose workday resembles a hectic episode of the restaurant kitchen series "The Bear," but with life-and-death stakes. The director, Volpe, aimed to shine a light on the frontlines of the looming healthcare catastrophe through Floria's story, which is being praised for its accurate depiction of the treacherously underfunded healthcare system.
