Sofia‘s Last Ambulance
director: Ilian Metev
original title: Poslednata lineika na Sofia
year: 2012
running time: 75 min.
synopsis
The work of a doctor, nurse, and driver on a 48-hour shift in one of Sofia’s 13 ambulances looks like a quixotic endeavour. The Bulgarian capital has a million and a half inhabitants, but low salaries in healthcare have led to a decline in the number of people who should be saving people’s lives. A case study of emotionally raw moments faced by the emergency medical team and its patients, in which we experience joy, disillusionment, fear, hopeless, and pleasure practically at the same time.
