Featuring a stellar cast led by Özlem Saglanmak (Borgen) and Trine Dyrholm (also in Beginnings), captivating drama Second Victims follows a neurologist on a shift that will change her life forever.
Set against the backdrop of an understaffed stroke unit, skilled neurologist Alexandra’s (Saglanmak) unwavering confidence is put to the ultimate test when a routine case spirals out of control. As blame and guilt ripple through the hospital where she works, Alexandra confronts her own fallibility, grappling with the profound repercussions of medical misjudgments.
Written and directed by Zinnini Elkington, this intense and introspective journey invites audiences to reflect on human frailty and redemption. Highlighting the emotional toll of working in a strained healthcare system and shot on location at Herlev Hospital in Denmark, this psychological drama is inspired by the real-life psychological syndrome ‘second victims’, which can affect healthcare staff after a traumatic event involving patient care.
Exploring the weight of guilt and the power of compassion, Second Victims is a timely reflection on the challenges faced by healthcare professionals today.
