Plan 75 plot
In the near future, there is a massive aging going on in Japan. To cope with this evolution, the government is introducing the Plan 75 program in which it offers its citizens older than this age financial and logistical support in their wish for euthanasia. The elderly Michi works at Plan 75. Like Hiromu and the young Filipino caregiver Maria, she is faced with the choice between life and death.

In Japan, the aging population is so great that the government is introducing a scheme to make it easier (and more attractive) for people over the age of 75 to end their lives in a dignified manner. This drama follows the consequences of this initiative from different perspectives. Michi [Chieko Baishô] falls within the target group, can hardly handle the work at a hotel and because she has no relatives she feels lonely. Hioromu [Hayato Isomura] is an official who discusses Plan 75 with potential 'candidates' and learns that his uncle [Taba Takao] has applied for the program. Maria [Stefanie Arianne] is a Filipino émigré who works in aged care and is thus directly involved in the execution of Plan 75. The premise is interesting and the acting is flawless, but Hayakawa's sluggish directing and constant bickering take this away from it. much expressiveness.

Intriguing fact, offering people over 75 to die with dignity in order to solve the problem of aging. And a nice angle to follow in the film the elderly widow Michi who cannot find work and is in danger of losing her home, as well as a civil servant to whom she can report, and an elderly care worker who helps to carry out the plan.
This has said the positive, because then the film does not know what the film wants to say, every scene is just not quite right, and each of the three storylines turns out to be wafer-thin. You sit there and you watch it, and afterwards you shrug your shoulders.

An intriguing premise with a strong moral where you soon see when watching the film that a number of things do not go so well. It could just be an idea for a nearby cold, reasoned society to see the elderly as an expensive burden with no return. A government-sponsored program to request euthanasia. In the film it also quickly becomes clear that people are pushed in that direction because they simply do not see any other solution due to loneliness or financial reasons. It also seems that the weakest in society threaten to become the largest consumers of this. The bounty was also an alms they received in return. 100,000 yen is converted into a lot and already € 650.
The retirement age is also 65 in Japan, but many older people continue to work afterwards. Three out of four people over the age of 65 are still working. As many as one in three Japanese people aged 70 to 74 continue to work. That also became painfully clear here with that uncle and Michi.
I found some scenes very catchy and overall I had a bad feeling about the film. It felt machine and clinical even though the program was supposedly social. I think the subject could have been developed better. I thought it was a bit too one-sided from the applicant side and as far as the officials are concerned it was actually twice the same (emotions taking over).
