A Mistake

When a new public reporting program begins ranking surgeons, a gifted clinician finds her career and personal life upended as her colleagues instinctively close ranks. Accusations, data-driven headlines, and whispered suspicions turn routine decisions into high-stakes scrutiny, while the hospital becomes a battleground between transparency and reputation. The pressure reveals fault lines in professional loyalty and forces everyone to choose between protecting the institution or confronting uncomfortable truths.

At the heart of the crisis is a fraught relationship: her partner, a nurse at the hospital, is pulled between intimate trust and workplace allegiance, compounding the surgeon’s isolation. As alliances shift and old certainties fracture, the film unfolds as a taut moral drama about accountability, the human cost of public performance metrics, and the fragile line between error and culpability.
