Synopsis
Silvia and Birgit have never met, but they live similar lives: both work over 15 hours a day and give everything to their regular customers. For decades, they have been the proud owners of their own “Trinkhalle” in the deepest Ruhr area. The “Trinkhalle” is considered a social hub - a place where a wide variety of people spontaneously get together for a chat and everyone is equal. Nowhere is the culture of “Trinkhallen” so closely linked to the identity of an entire region as in the Ruhr area. Birgit and Silvia fear they will have to struggle for survival: more than 2,000 “Trinkhallen” have already had to close. With every one that disappears, another piece of culture dies in the Ruhr region. [39 WFF]
