Rounding

63rd TIFF: Greek Premiere

After treating an older patient near the end of her life and collapsing, a young resident doctor is transferred to a rural hospital in Greenville for a fresh start. Having trouble connecting with patients, his superior urges him to be more personable and take a “Bedside Technique” class. When James becomes consumed with the case of a young asthma patient, demons from his past begin haunting him: As an injured ankle flares up, James is confronted with hospital bureaucracy, his nightmares magnify his anxiety, and his reality starts to unravel.
