    A look into compassion
    Director Lee Cipolla and writer Leo Oliva have packed a lot of emotion, humanism, and story into a film that isn't even one hour and thirty minutes long. Once the story starts you are swept up into the events on this one night in a hospital emergency room. Each character has their own story and even though the viewer does not know all the facts behind each person you are taken in by their presence on the screen.

    Many questions are presented for you to consider - What is caring?, What is compassion?, Where can a human separate himself from the emotional needs of others? The life of an ER doctor or nurse is both rewarding and defeating at times. And they also have emotional needs they must deal with in their own way.

    This little flick is a jewel you will want to watch more than once if your are a person that enjoys thinking and trying to walk a mile in another persons shoes.
