Allelujah

2023 · 99 min

A bittersweet, quietly angry ensemble piece that blends gentle humour with a creeping sense of dread and a heartfelt defence of public care.

Overview: When news of the closure of a small hospital's geriatric ward begins to reach the community, the hospital invites a local news crew to document their planning of a concert in honor of the hospital's most celebrated nurse. But there might be something more threatening to the hospital itself, more deadly than the politicians ready to shut down the place at a moment's notice.
