麻豆约拍

The first in a powerful new short story series from Sarah Moss, set on one hospital ward over a long bank holiday weekend. As patients wait to be assessed on the Acute Medical Unit, with staff exhausted and thin on the ground, stories of patients' lives and possible futures slowly unfold. These are tales of kindness, love and small acts of humanity in a system at breaking point.

Today: a woman makes a reluctant journey to A&E, convinced that everything is in fact fine. But staff think otherwise...
