Night Nurse

Night Nurse is set inside an upscale retirement community that houses elderly residents in semi-independent bungalows surrounding a central care facility. Eleni, an idealistic young nurse, takes a position there and is assigned—along with her colleague Mona—to care for Douglas, a self-assured older man who has been reassigned from another nurse following a prior incident of inappropriate behavior. Though officially diagnosed with dementia, Douglas is in reality a seasoned con artist who exploits the attentiveness of his caregivers. He draws Eleni into a phone-scam operation in which she poses as a distressed granddaughter to manipulate other elderly people into wiring bail money. Rather than recoiling from Douglas, Eleni finds herself psychologically and sexually drawn to him; his controlling charisma functions as a kind of seduction. Mona undergoes a similar pull, and both women drift into an insular triangle with Douglas, growing increasingly isolated from the rest of the community as their involvement in his schemes deepens. The film tracks Eleni's arc from devoted caregiver to willing accomplice, deliberately leaving the exact nature of her motivation ambiguous—whether it is genuine attraction, codependence, or something more pathological—until the final act, in which those suspicions are confirmed. Director Georgia Bernstein frames the story as a slow-burn psychosexual thriller, foregrounding mood and dread over explicit plot mechanics, and using the blurred boundary between professional care and intimacy as its central unease.
