Following World War 2, there was a shortage of nurses in Denmark. The series, based on factual events, describes the controversial enrolment of male students into the nurse education. The male students are met by strong opposition, both from physicians and senior female nursing staff.
Love, sickness, health and exam anxiety at a Danish hospital in the 50s. Erik (Morten Hee Andersen) and Anna (Molly Blixt Egelind) are among the first to be accepted into a nursing school with men and women being trained together. Due to a lack of trained nurses, the danish governement decides, on a trial basis, that it is socially acceptabale for a man to work as a nurse. It is not easy for the men to be accepted as nurses in an working environment with oldfashioned hierarchies and strict disciplinary work ethics.
—Morten Albrekt Lange
