Behind the mask.

The mental health crisis running rampant among healthcare workers is brought into the spotlight by this poignant film. Directing duo Novemba zero in on the toll taken on those treating victims of the Covid-19 pandemic, bringing untold stories of post-traumatic turmoil out of the shadows throughout the film's two-minute runtime.

Thus, small moments are writ large across the screen as the audience is drawn into bathrooms, back gardens, and dinner tables devoid of smiles. The contrast between emotional breakdowns and professional stoicism is starkly rendered here, and emphasises the staggering strength of those handling the pandemic on the front lines.
