Second Victims
Zinnini Elkington / DK, 2025 / 92 min.
Bone-chilling Danish psychological drama surrounding an incorrect diagnosis during a hectic shift at a hospital that changes both the patient’s and the doctor’s lives forever. Second Victims shows how doctors can also be victims of the failing healthcare system.
Due to staff shortages, accomplished neurologist Alexandra (Özlem Saglanmak, known for her role in Borgen) is forced to do two shifts at once at the A&E department. When she sends 18-year-old patient Oliver and his mother (Trine Dyrholm) home due to time constraints, and Oliver suffers a near-fatal stroke minutes later, Alexandra starts doubting herself. Guilt and recriminations resound down the hospital’s corridors after this medical mistake.
