This darkly humorous film examines the state of the Finnish public care system, where workers try to survive in conditions where efficiency and profit have become the most important values. It is about the strain on care workers, the dehumanisation in the treatment of the elderly in our society and human dignity in general. A chorus of exhausted and resentful nurses sings along to hypnotic melodies about the realities of day-to-day nursing in Finland. A stirring wake-up call in the guise of a musical! (Cosima Lange)
