Plan 75 (2022)

Other name:

Description:

In a not-too-distant future, an increasingly aging population places immense strain on national resources and social welfare systems. To address this looming crisis, the government unveils "Plan 75," a unique and controversial initiative. This program offers attractive financial incentives and comprehensive support to citizens aged 75 and above who voluntarily choose to conclude their lives, presented as a dignified and compassionate solution to societal challenges and a peaceful end for the elderly.

As Plan 75 gains momentum, its true nature begins to emerge beyond its benevolent facade. Individuals approaching their 75th birthday find themselves facing subtle, yet pervasive, societal pressure and unspoken expectations to opt into the program. What was initially introduced as a free choice gradually transforms into a complex moral dilemma, forcing a profound re-evaluation of human dignity, the value of life, and the true meaning of a "good death" in a world where the state influences one's final decision.
