High Stakes - A Night In The Ward

High Stakes - A Night In The Ward (2024) is a pitch-black Italian comedy you can watch online on iFILM. It's Ferragosto, the dead-of-August holiday, and a nearly empty Naples hospital wheels in a gravely ill patient. Veteran nurse Angelo takes one look at old Mr. Caputo and knows the man won't see morning.

Salvatore, his colleague and sworn enemy, bets the opposite — and a wager over whether the patient survives the night turns into a no-holds-barred game, the prize being the coveted Christmas vacation slot. From there the ward descends into chaos: one nurse fights to keep Caputo breathing, the other plays dirty, and the halls fill with coked-up doctors and shady strangers. Carlo Buccirosso and Lino Musella lead the cast. Director Giovanni Dota crams the whole farce into a lean 84 minutes and spares no one (rated 18+).
