Who Cares – Ohne uns steht die Welt still

Is it love or unpaid labor? Caught between a teenage daughter and a mother with Alzheimer’s—who has a penchant for "liberating" flowers from the Hotel Sacher—Ina Ivanceanu, a single mother and filmmaker from Vienna, finds herself navigating a labyrinth of caregiving responsibilities.

To clear the fog in her mind, she turns to Silvia Federici, one of the most important thinkers of our time. Care work continues to be performed primarily by women worldwide—and largely without pay. Why? How can we finally change this? What happens if we calculate its true value?

What begins in the living room of her childhood soon evolves into a fast-paced journey of inquiry revolving around one of the most pressing issues of our era. Together with Silvia Federici, Ina discovers surprising answers to global questions and solutions for her own family situation—eventually finding herself right in front of the Austrian Parliament.
