New Trailer for Hospital Nurse Thriller 'Late Shift' with Leonie Benesch

"Will the doctor come today?" Vertigo Releasing has debuted an official trailer for the Swiss film titled Late Shift, opening in theaters later this year. One of the best films I've seen this year - made by acclaimed Swiss filmmaker Petra Volpe. The original German title is Heldin, which actually translates to Heroine (a female hero), but they're not using this title for its international release. Late Shift originally premiered at the 2025 Berlin Film Festival earlier this year (here's my full review). German actress Leonie Benesch (seen in The Teacher's Lounge and September 5) stars as Floria, a dedicated nurse, tirelessly working in an understaffed surgical hospital ward. On this day her shift becomes a tense and urgent race against the clock. According to the WHO, the worldwide shortage of nursing staff is a global health risk. The film is both a respectful tribute to all care workers and a gripping plea for more humanity & social commitment. Last but not least, it shows how essential good care in the event of illness is for us all. Lead actress Leonie Benesch impresses with her powerful and captivating performance, which will leave everyone in awe of her emotion. Highly recommend catching up with this, mostly because it's a beautiful tribute to nurses. Still waiting for final US release date. // Continue Reading ›
