Women who enter medicine to heal patients describe a different reality inside Swiss hospitals, where obscene jokes in the operating room escalate into sexual blackmail and assault during training. Medical students, doctors, and surgeons speak on camera about what they endured from senior colleagues and bosses, and about the silence that followed. Several recount reporting incidents to human resources, only to watch the complaints go nowhere, while the men accused kept their positions and reputations intact. Hospital administrators insist on a zero-tolerance policy, but the film sets that claim against case after case where harassers faced no real consequence and victims weighed the risk of speaking up against the risk to their careers. The film stays close to these first-person accounts rather than statistics, building a picture of an institutional culture that protects hierarchy over the people inside it. It asks why medicine, a profession built on trust, has been so slow to hold its own accountable.
