DE CHAQUE INSTANT
O.V. French subtitle in Spanish and English
Although nursing has been seen as a secondary work throughout history, the fact is that the world is sustained thanks to it. That is why the profound and honest look by Nicolas Philibert (To Be and To Have) at the training of those who have to take on that task in nursing, is essential. From training in the more technical practices to how to deal with patients and work in hospitals, a passionate film about the little gestures and the thousand particularities involved in dealing with people in a vulnerable state, a job that requires endless delicacy and strength.
