Review: Vielä ehtii

There is still time

The life of seniors today is not just about waiting for death. The ageing of the baby boomers and their wild youth have been more diverse than in previous generations.

Marianne, Säde and Annakaisa meet, talk and enjoy, according to their ability.

The game nights of the three women change when one of them brings with him a man who is meant for the mistress of the house, to the delight of the widow. Nothing is left unsaid, age and experience give you the opportunity to finally be yourself. Marianne’s husband has been Säte’s lover, which hasn’t ruined the women’s friendship either. Annakaisa still has a tyrannical husband who is only present in speeches.

Peter, a potential future husband, is kind but at the same time helpless. At the request of the children, Tommi comes to the rescue from the home service, a young and energetic cheerleader to whom the elderly are also human.

They also laugh at themselves for everything. Nothing is sacred or frightening. Children do not do any harm  other than that they know better and are in charge.

In the play, things are discussed openly but familiarly. As a light version, old age is still full of hope, when you are still able and have the right to self-determination. There is still time when you get a little help from your loved ones.

Ulla Tapaninen and Leena Uotila make the best laughs.
