Leonie Benesch great as a tireless nurse

There is suitability according to the new feature of Petra Volpe in English. It writes what is needed and does a job, unlike the nurses in the center Late shift. Still, it is worth noting that the original title of Swiss and German film, heroineAlthough similar, at the point, he gives up modesty and police officers just in something that encourages the film no less than the nuts and screws of the 21st century medical care: admiring aside. This means “heroin”, and there is no doubt that Floria Lind, the loyal Pro played with the great fluid of Leonie Benesch in this tense and immersed drama in the workplace, is just as bold as the most effective protagonist in the action saga.

Volpe (Divine order) And her leading actor moves through a hospital with a moving energy that is completely forced, never forced. Even before her shift starts, Floria is engaged, but a brief conversation in the locker room with a colleague of nurse’s nurse Be (Sonja Riesen) makes it clear that she is not the one for the empty aquette even in the best days. Likewise the racing pulse of the results of Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch (All of us foreigners). But it turns out to be one of the most striking and shift attempts: the surgical department has a capacity, a care crew that does not apply, and an emergency surgery requires the attention of a doctor who is on duty.

“We are just two today,” Floria offers an explanation almost every time a patient or one of their loved ones complains about the background of attention. Long before you apologize, Floria jumps right into action, helping a colleague who finished his shift with an unusual task of changing the disoriented woman “incontinence pants”. From there it moves and runs, passing rounds through the ice-blue-green maze of the corridor with its carts of computers, machines and medicines. Beatrice Schulz production designer has re -fulfilled an empty hospital to create a set, a superb balance of clinical training and functionality. Within this space, as DP Judith Kaufmann (Teacher’s salon,, Cors) Converting a camera into Floria’s sympathetic companion, fluid choreography of performers and cameras is an exceptional feat.

Floria’s interactions with other staff and patients give the movie their heart. Inspired Madeline CalvelageAutobiographical novel Our profession is not a problem. These are circumstancesVolpe surrounded Benescha with a combination of professional actors, first performers and real medical staff. During the hours, as the place of the evening gives the place of the evening, Floria soothes a man from Burkina Faso (Urbain Guiguemdé) who has passed the tests, nervous and “I am all.” It offers the words of wisdom to the middle -aged woman (Doris Schefer) who is worried about leaving the bed for a dying father and does what she can die to die for a man’s nerves (URS BiHler) as she expects the test results restlessly (she knows bad news but are not authorized to share her).

Just as the propulsive scenario does not consume the moment – Volpe provides a few fast moves about Floria’s home life as a single mother – Floria also does not consume words or gestures. But she knows when to stop, whether she sang a calming lullaby to a woman with dementia (Margherita Schoch) or listen to her when a patient with a returning cancer (Lale Yavas), exhausted with tests and surgery and treatments, speaks with Bolski sincerely honest Carna her capabilities .

A series of disasters begins to reveal the calmness of Floria, until it is completely lost with a rich patient (Jürg Plüss), who, who erupts demands and sarcasm from his private room, feels like a cliché at first. But his and floral end conversation in the movie turns out to be one of his most beloved. Each step of the way, the traffic arrangement of Hansjörg Weissbrich in synchronization is with the change of emotional texture of the story and the awareness that in this sterile environment for bodies and soul mortality is never far from the equation.

Closing title cards warns about the lack of nurses in Switzerland and beyond. Paying tribute to the underrated profession, Late shift It offers a portrait of courage at a working level, not the least when Floria disposes of a surgeon on behalf of the patient who feels abandoned. Regardless of your views on pain management and pharmacological practice, such advocacy is a valuable thing.

Lively and intense physicality Benesch brought to his role of infants Teacher’s salon – a kind of honesty and presence that is visible in its mainly role September 5 “Finds new depths in it Late shift performance. Floria is every move of benign anger: her confident progress through the department, the ritual of her muscular use of cleansing a numerous times a day, her practicing the handling and application of catheters, needles and syringe. (According to production notes, Benesch ended up an internship at a Swiss hospital to prepare for the role.) From her sharp dismay of the student nurses to her own tears of self -discovery, Floria is full and beautifully imprinted on the character and, yes, heroin.
