Emergency! A Critical Situation explores the reality of an evening shift in the emergency department of the Centre hospitalier Pierre-Boucher, and reveals the daily lives of the nurses who work hard to provide this essential service to the public. The camera follows the footsteps of these professionals, revealing what they have to put up with to cope with the demands of their work, which is sometimes carried out under intense, almost unbearable stress. From the triage room to the shock room, from the patients lined up in the corridor to the waiting room, they race to put out fires, often with only one priority: maintaining life. It’s urgent. Urgent to listen to these women who resist and succeed, despite the difficulties, in keeping human dignity at the heart of their concerns.
