Five Star Existence plot

Does technology enrich our lives or does it restrict our freedom? That is the question Lindén poses in her film. Different aspects of the modern information society are highlighted and discussed. Skeptics are placed next to proponents without drawing conclusions or judgments. The title refers to Songdo Ciy in South Korea, where they are working on a "five-star existence" in which you can adjust your thermostat from the subway and children can play freely on the street again; because there are cameras everywhere that keep an eye on them.
