    Synopsis

    Around the clock, the staff on Ward 43 fight to save the lives of those seriously ill with the Corona Virus. Up close and without commentary, the series tells the story of this struggle in a microcosm that knows neither day or night. Despite high-tech intensive care and immense personal dedication, the staff repeatedly come up against the limits of their human abilities. Time and again, the experienced doctors and nurses have to accept the inevitable and let their patients go. At the end of a long shift, this can often feel like a defeat – and leaves its mark on those who remain.
