Filmmaker Susanna Helke examines the real impact of the Finnish healthcare crisis on the care of the elderly. In the form of a documentary musical, the filmmaker presents a testimony about poorly paid staff and the privatization of the public sector.
What role is played by care ethics in the age of capitalism? As part of a cost-saving program, robotic caregivers replace depleted medical staff and remote call centre services help maintain a relationship with seniors through brief online conversations. But the problem of an ageing population is not just a Finnish problem. This global phenomenon is a litmus test of the commonality of each country. Unfortunately, the gap between humanity and the understanding of care for the elderly as a commercial commodity is widening. As a result, the right to a dignified old age is disappearing.
