How do elderly people deal with selfies, gadgets and technological developments? They discuss these topics in a frequently changing virtual scenery that puts them in a space station or a Jacuzzi, for example.

A group of centenarians answers questions about their lives, recent inventions, selfies and their use of new technology. In the background, the virtual scenery is constantly changing, putting the subjects in a space station one moment and in a Jacuzzi the next. For some, technology is a breath of fresh air, for others a mystery. The elderly people also talk about modern communication technology with youngsters. About using apps and a telephone with a dial, for example, but also about solidarity and trust.
