IN THE BEST HANDS

Screening in the Gut Eibenhof culture barn 

Comic artist Raphaela and publisher Julie have been a couple for ten years, but now their relationship seems to be at an end. During one of their exhausting arguments, Raphaela falls, breaks her arm, and the two end up in a Paris emergency room. Outside, violent protests are raging, the hospital is filling with injured demonstrators, the staff is at their wits' end, and the situation threatens to escalate. When the angry truck driver Yann is moved into Raphaela's room, prejudices and class resentments collide. However, over the course of the eventful night, many commonalities will also be discovered.

With IN THE BEST HANDS, Catherine Corsini tackles highly topical issues such as the nursing crisis and the division of society. At the same time, her film, which celebrated its acclaimed world premiere at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival, is as bitter as it is comical, as energetic as it is touching.

Subsequent film discussion with Jürgen Graalmann (Managing Director of the German Nursing Day) and Christine Vogler
