No time to lose

Abstract

More and more, elderly people in all parts of the globe are losing contact with the world into which they were born. This film portrays problems of growing old in a middle-seized industrial town in Europe and in small Latin American country. The scene and the conditions of living are different but both stories tell of the loneliness and despair suffered by old people when they are uprooted from familiar surroudings, when family ties are broken and when the children leave home, often moving far away

General Audience those interested in the health of the elderly
