Floria, a devoted nurse, navigates the relentless pace of a surgical ward with unwavering dedication, bringing compassion and warmth to her patients—even during a critically understaffed shift. But as the day escalates, one mistake threatens to unravel everything, turning the late shift into a nerve-racking race against time.

Late Shift, a gripping and absorbing medical drama, has found success at the box office and international festivals since its Berlinale premiere. Petra Volpe's precise direction and a standout performance by Leonie Benesch (The Teachers' Lounge, 2023 Haifa Festival) will glue you to your seat.

Filmography: Golden Years (2022), The Divine Order (2017), Dreamland (2013).
