Night nurse

Synopsis

Anna Dubois (43) works as a night nurse in a hospital. She is divorced and has a son Lou (8). Due to a severe postnatal depression a few months after his birth, she developed dark thoughts and left her baby on the edge of the highway during a severe psychosis. A forced period in psychiatry followed, the deathblow to her perfect life.

She lost everything: her job, her marriage and the custody of her son, whom she sees only every two weeks (under supervision). Anna still struggles with the raw lonely aftermath. She leads a nocturnal life, alternately seeking solitude and kicks.
