Through this documentary, we shed light on the reality of pensioners in Albania. Are pensions enough to cope with the reality of old age living? The economic difficulties, the challenges to survive and the feeling of loneliness take us on a deep journey into the life of this layer.
The sharp rise in inflation and high living costs place a heavy burden on the elderly. Financial help from children becomes vital support, but is it enough?
This time, we explore the stories of Albanian pensioners, a stratum which faces great challenges. With monthly income often insufficient for basic needs.
