The Nurse

A nurse, timid and insecure, works in a drab and muted hospital in Turkey. A revolutionary, haunted by his past and unable to make amends, is transferred to meet his final days, caged in a room left only to his thoughts and the nurse. When these two meet, they discover more about themselves than initially conceived. Between tales of lost freedom and the prospect of love, this unlikely companionship brings a lesson in empathy and accepting pain and past vices. The Nurse is a peculiar story of hurt, suffering, and acceptance that serves as a reminder that compassion can be found in the most unexpected places. (Cinequest Festival)
