A skilled neurologist's confidence is shaken when a routine case turns tragic, leading to blame and guilt rippling through the hospital, forcing her to confront her fallibility and the profound consequences of medical errors.


A medical drama about a young but experienced female doctor who has to make difficult decisions under intense psychological pressure. Sometimes those decisions are right, sometimes not — but the cost of these decisions is human life.

Zinnini Elkington’s debut film resembles an episode of the popular series ER, yet it tells unconventional human stories with precision and brevity, all within the confined space of a hospital.
