SAUVE QUI PEUT

Alexe Poukine | 2024 | French | S.T English

Continuing her exploration of and reflection on re-enactments, Alexe Poukine takes a revealing look at medical training and the healthcare system.

In Switzerland, actors simulate consultations with medical and nursing students. The scenarios are then discussed and analyzed. This revealing educational approach, filmed with discretion, is gradually put into dialogue during improvisation workshops for healthcare professionals, from which emerges a collective discourse on the difficult reality of a system that exerts enormous physical and mental pressure on them. In this film, which has no external commentary, filmmaker Alexe Poukine continues her formal, narrative, and social exploration using re-enactments and acting to reveal an obscured truth and a vital message.
