EU XXL Cinema: "Heroine"

Switzerland/Germany 2025, 92 min German original version Feature film Age rating: from 12 years The dedicated nursing professional Floria loves the challenges of her job. In the surgery department of a Swiss hospital, she is the one who devotedly provides human warmth. Every action is precise, and even in stressful situations, she always has an open ear for her patients and is immediately available in emergencies. And this is in a chronically understaffed ward. However, the harsh reality of the fully occupied department shows no mercy. Floria makes a fateful mistake, and a nerve-wracking race against time begins. The film is both a respectful homage to all caregivers and a gripping plea for more humanity and social engagement. Written & directed by: Petra Volpe Cinematography: Judith Kaufmann Starring: Leonie Benesch, Sonja Riesen, Alireza Bayram, Selma Aldin, among others. Image credits: Freepik - Link to the image
