"Code Blue", a feature film directed by Urszula Antoniak, is one of the most interesting and shocking films about death and loneliness made in recent years
The film is an intimate look at illness, suffering, redemption, secrets and intimacy. The main character Marian (Bien de Moor), is a nurse at a terminal-ill ward. She is devoted to her patients, at times even helping them reach a state of peace. In return, she collects small objects belonging to the deceased patients. Marian lives alone and leads a lonely life. There are, however, moments in which she badly wants to be intimate with others. One day she notices a new neighbour. Through an experience in which they jointly witness an act of violence, they forge a relationship that intensifies and culminates in a powerful finale.
