Palliative care unit, Franziskus Hospital Berlin. Over the course of a summer, Philipp Döring documents conversations characterized by humanity, institutional bottlenecks, light that falls through the windows despite everything. He comes close to dying, but also to life. The four-hour film has weight and yet does not crush under any burden of fate. It quickly becomes clear that life really only ends with the last heartbeat.
