Synopsis

It is the city hospital of Amsterdam, where all the cultures of the big city meet: the OLVG. Every year, more than 500,000 patients are treated here, spread across two locations. The OLVG's emergency department is one of the largest in the Netherlands. As is the maternity ward, where 5,000 babies are born every year. For two years, documentary filmmaker Coen Verbraak and his team filmed in this hospital, before and during the pandemic, following in the footsteps of doctors, nurses, and other staff members.
