The Pull of the Stars (2020)

Three days in a Dublin maternity ward during the 1918 influenza outbreak make nursing knowledge intensely practical. Julia Power must decide what to do with limited help, while a doctor and an inexperienced volunteer bring different capacities to the room. The intimacy includes affection as well as danger. This is a short, urgent choice with graphic childbirth and loss, especially good on the judgement hidden inside work that outsiders can mistake for routine care.
