In the organizer's words:

Heroine

Intense portrait of care at the limit

DEU, CHE 2025 | FSK 6 | 92 min.

Director: Petra Volpe

Starring: Leonie Benesch, Sonja Riesen, Urs Bihler

An ordinary day on the ward of a surgical department: seriously injured patients have to be cared for and patients undergoing surgery have to be looked after, while privileged but selfish privately insured patients clamor for extra sausages and the nursing team is once again completely understaffed due to a chronic shortage of personnel. Despite the hectic pace, Floria looks after her patients expertly and with complete dedication. Although she gives her all, she is slowly running on empty and the late shift seems to be getting more and more out of control - until she finally makes a serious mistake.

"Heroine" gives us a first-hand experience of what it means to be a nurse. In addition, the drama once again focuses on the abuses of our healthcare system. A movie that concerns us all.
