The inevitability of their patients' end is not the most difficult thing Ondrej and Katerina have to face as heads of the palliative care unit at Prague General University Hospital. Intensive Life Unit is a deeply humanistic meditation on the ethics of palliative care, in a work far from the classic hospice film. Letting her particular empathy shine through, Adéla Komrzý documents intimate conversations between doctors and their patients that demonstrate that while there is no good or bad way to die, there is always a way to improve patients' quality of life.
