A rare German film asks what home care looks like once a humanoid robot moves in

CyberRobooo highlights Doris Dörrie's 2030, a rare German robot film: an 80-year-old in Hamburg, alone after a fall, gets a humanoid care robot from her insurance. Her daughter is on theater tour, human care is unaffordable. The robot recites Chekhov, walks her outside, and carries an EOL mode requiring explicit wish plus medical criteria. The film treats the robot not as a threat but as what makes staying home possible — then asks what still counts as her own decision once the data is leaving the room. Author notes the robot resembles Neura's 4NE-1.
