sich langsam nähern - Begleitetes Lebensende in sieben Kapiteln (2026)

Told across seven sharply observed chapters, this documentary follows doctors and nurses in the palliative care unit at Vienna General Hospital and in outpatient hospice care as they walk alongside patients on life’s final journey. Conversations with family members and moments of impending goodbye surface throughout, but the film gradually turns its focus to the bond between dying patients and the healthcare professionals caring for them—again and again revealing the delicate tension between professional care and emotional closeness.
