At 66, Charles Bourgeois is forced to live in a nursing home due to his physical disability. In three years, he has squandered all his savings to pay for his living space in Vevey. The state will soon take over, but this young resident's only outlet, the internet, will then be cut off. Because it is considered a luxury. We meet Charles in his room to discuss his situation and the financial drain that living in a nursing home represents.
