Grazi, nursing assistant in an emergency room, where urgency and chaos are part of the routine. But when the hospital where she works closes overnight, she finds herself without a job, pregnant and without prospects. While navigating interview lines and facing closed doors, Grazi discovers firsthand the cruel logic of the world around her: success is a game where the rules were not made for her to win. Between hunger, fear and fatigue, she needs to find the strength to continue, even when everything seems to push her back. “Shelf Life” is not about individual triumph, but about daily resistance against a system that turns survival into a privilege. A tough and realistic portrait of so many women who keep going, not because they want to “win”, but because giving up was never an option.
