Urgence! Deuxième souffle (Emergency Room! Second Wind) explores the reality of an evening shift in the emergency room of the Centre hospitalier Pierre-Boucher and reveals the daily lives of the nurses who work in this essential service to the population. The camera follows in the footsteps of these professionals and reveals what they have to endure in order to cope with the demands of their work, which is sometimes carried out under intense stress, at the limit of what is bearable. From the triage room to the shock room, from the patients lined up in the corridor to the waiting room, they run to put out fires, often with only one priority: the preservation of life. It is urgent, urgent to listen to these women who resist and succeed, despite the difficulties, in keeping human dignity at the center of their concerns.
