Extremely precisely photographed and with a fine sense for small spaces and tones, "Fifteen Rooms" tells of everyday life in a Berlin hospice. Danka is actually a cleaner, but there is always time for a cigarette break or a chat with the residents. In these moments, the view widens: Spotlights on a spent life that gathers strength here one last time. That is what makes this place so pleasant and relaxed. If you're going to die, you'd like to die here.
