BODIES AND STRUGGLES
Belgium 2022 – Director: Christophe Hermans – Original language: French – Subtitles: English – Length: 72 min.
Shortly after the first wave of coronavirus, the second looms over the hospital in the Belgian city of Liège in late 2020. There is a shortage of beds and staff and the workers are also fighting on another front: many people outside the clinics are beginning to deny the danger of Covid-19. Insights into working lives stretched to the limit in which, despite everything, moments of shared humanity are possible. Anne Thomé
