MIDWIVES

Louise and Sofia, two young passionate midwives, start their first job at a public maternity ward. But as soon as they arrive, the two friends are confronted with the crazy pace of a service on the brink of collapse.

With a camera that shakes at the frenetic pace of the hospital environment, Léa Fehner (The Ogre) skillfully captures the daily lives of these healthcare professionals, revealing the personal and political ramifications of a failing system.
