Late Shift

An ordinary day on a beds ward of a surgical department quickly turns into a test of endurance. The team grapples with chronic understaffing and the relentless pace that comes with busy shifts. Floria Lind moves through the corridor with practiced calm, tending to patients with sharp clinical skill and steady concern. As hours drift by, the workload grows heavier and small missteps multiply. The routine becomes tenser, and the line between supervision and crisis blurs. What begins as meticulous care tips toward instability, and the film tracks how a single day can push even a devoted nurse toward a dramatic outburst without spoiling the suspense.

Released in 2025, the drama is directed by Petra Volpe from an original screenplay. Budget is about 4.6 million and the cast features Leonie Benesch as Floria Lind with Alireza Bayram, Jürg Plüss, Jasmin Mattei and Lale Yavaş.

Audiences have responded with a solid 7.8 average from 170 votes, signaling a positive reception. The film foregrounds burnout and ethical strain in health care, balancing professional care with the toll of under staffing, and it looks at how individuals cope under pressure in a system stretched to the limit.
