In a time marked by cutbacks in public services, voices are raised that the view of care and support must be reformulated. In Nils Petter Löfstedt's (School Under Siege, GFF 2023) highly topical documentary, the immeasurable and often underestimated work is made visible.

Director Nils Petter Löfstedt turns the camera towards a profession he has been part of himself, trying to depict the crucial work in care that rarely appears in work plans and is never the basis for various calculations or schedules. It's about consideration and respect, the interpersonal and circular work that constantly happens in the moment at preschools, nursing homes, and home care services, but which is not attributed its actual significance. The Unmeasurable not only points out flaws in society's view of care but is also an initiated and deeply touching portrayal of various workplaces and a working class dominated by women.
