Trinkhalle

Silvia and Birgit have never met, but they lead similar lives: they both work over 15 hours a day, get up when others are still asleep and are committed to their loyal regular customers. They have been the proud owners of a "Trinkhalle" in the Ruhr region for decades. But they fear the fight for survival: over 2000 "Trinkhallen" have already had to close. With every one that disappears, another piece of culture dies in the Ruhr region.
