Lao Tou : Old man

For thousands of years adult children in China have followed the tradition of taking care of their parents at home, as they grow old. With the one-child policy in place for more than a generation, China is now facing a future where one fourth of its population only have one child to rely on. The pyramid is balancing on its tip. Lao Tou tells the small story of a traditional mainland China family, trying to cope with age and dementia. Their story sheds light on the bigger picture, as one of Chinas main problems in the years to come are the increasing amount of elders, and the decreasing amount of young to care for them.
