The film “Heldin” with Albanian actor becoming part of Netflix platform

Ridvan Murati, a popular name of the theatre stage and cinematography in Switzerland, brings to this project another powerful interpretation, strengthening the presence and influence of Albanian actors in heavy international productions.

The film is an intensive drama of 2025, directed by Petra Volpe, and focuses on the character Floria, a opera nurse in a Swiss hospital who faces extraordinary challenges during a late shift. Helping a mother in critical condition, an elderly patient, and a demanding private patient, a serious mistake threatens to undermine all her efforts.

“Heldin” is co-production between Switzerland and Germany, and had the world premiere at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival Special Gala Berlin edition section on February 17th 2025. After the premiere, the film was launched in Swiss cinemas on February 27th.

For Albanian actor Ridvan Murati, who has been living and operating for years in Switzerland, involvement in such an international project, now accessible to Netflix, is a testimony to his talent assessment in European cinema. It continues to represent Albanian artists with dignity on the international stage and voice confessions with human and emotional dimensions.

For the Albanian public and beyond, the presence of “Heldin” in Netflix is an opportunity to see a quality product, which brings attention not only to the health system's challenges but also to the individual's power to cope with extraordinary situations, and this time, with an Albanian name in its cast.
