What it's about: On an orthopaedic ward in Bergen, nurse Nasra, born and raised in the city, is told by an 81-year-old patient that he would rather have "a Norwegian one" and that her hijab does not belong in a Norwegian hospital. Her experienced colleague says nothing, and it is the silence, not the remark, that Nasra cannot let go.
Nasra hadde jobbet på ortopedisk avdeling på et av de store sykehusene i Bergen i sju år. Hun var født på Haukeland, vokst opp i Fyllingsdalen og snakket en bergensk som var bredere enn de flestes. Mora hennes kom fra Somalia på slutten av åttitallet. Nasra hadde begynt å gå med hijab da hun var sytten, og det hadde hun bestemt selv, uansett hva enkelte trodde.
