Naima
6.9
Naima, a 46-year-old Venezuelan, lives in precarious conditions in Basel and, after many years in the low-wage sector, she secures a traineeship in nursing. However, her happiness collides with a harsh reality: patients love her compassionate humour, but her colleagues perceive her as lacking professional distance. When she fails her internship, her world falls apart.
