Canadian Premiere
An emergency room nurse arrives late for work after being involved in a serious car accident and soon has to make life or death choices involving a loved one. There is a lot of high drama in this story of heroism and selfishness, where lives are on the line in a moralistic race against time and legal consent. Seamlessly fluid camerawork and terrific ensemble performances contribute to the life and death atmosphere. Powerful, intense, suspenseful, and heartbreaking, the film never deflates the dramatic tension with the two lives at stake and the constantly changing situation the nurse and the doctor find themselves in.
