Petra Volpe creates a tense film that follows a nurse during her shift in an understaffed Swiss hospital. She hits the nail on the head by immersing us, through fiction, in the relentless daily life of a woman devoted to her profession and carrying the guilt of her own powerlessness.

We left actress Leonie Benesch exhausted in The Teachers' Room , a relentless closed-door drama in a German high school marked by a series of robberies. We find her again as a nurse, just as exhausted in On the Front Line, a Swiss film whose original title Heldin means heroine. And that's how she appears to us, this Floria Lind, when at the end of the film, she takes her bus back at the end of her evening shift in a chronically understaffed hospital.
