Silvia Federici’s manifesto Wages against Housework provided an early impetus for Ina Ivanceanu to raise her own awareness of care as an invisible social and economic factor – and her film communicates that awareness to the general public. WHO CARES is a proclamation of exhaustion which permits a glimpse into private spheres: it shows both protagonists and the director in their everyday lives, a considerable proportion of which is devoted to caring for a family member. It wasn’t always planned that way for the film, but it’s no coincidence, either. It’s a system.
