EI, TEMI

Spain 2024 — Directed by: Jesús Minchon, Marta Aguilella, Arnau Belloc — 20 min — Production: UAB- Máster Documental Creativo

Paquita is 85 years old and lives alone in a flat in Barcelona. She doesn't receive many visitors, but today her new flatmate, Temi the robot, is knocking at the door. Will Temi be able to put an end to Paquita's loneliness? One of the countless consequences of today’s reality is the loneliness that some elderly people suffer at home. Both private initiatives and public institutions are trying to find solutions to this problem, and Barcelona City Council has put forward a proposal which is as capable as it is ironic: can the problem of unwanted loneliness be solved with the resources that technology allows today? Temi is a robot designed for this purpose, and he believes that it is possible. After all, perhaps it doesn't take a person to solve the most human of problems.
