A hospital in a small town in Bulgaria, the Covid ward. This observational documentary puts the country’s deficient healthcare system in the spotlight and reminds us of our attitudes at moments when faced with extreme existential threats. A skilfully constructed portrait of the bleak everyday life in an underfunded facility where, even when looking death in the face, people still manage to find their sense of humour.
