A life of solitude Did you know that in Switzerland, more than a third of households are made up of just one person? Elderly, young, emotionally shipwrecked, shy, divorced, precarious, solitude is the faithful companion of millions of us. But it also happens that these solitary people have simply chosen to remain so. Out of a taste for freedom, by choice, because it meets all their expectations. They are, let's say it, a minority. The solitary people who agreed to testify in this report by Sabine Pirolt and Nicolas Pallay express great suffering. Not only that of spending Christmas alone, in front of their block of foie gras and the television. But also, in terms of self-esteem, or social exclusion. But solitary people rebel and try to resist, as you will see. In this report you will discover, for example, how in Zurich they are beginning to imagine collective apartments, where everyone can keep their privacy, in a shared space. Very interesting. You will also see new types of travel agencies. Because loneliness is now also a big market. Some more news from our interlocutors. So, just after our filming, Stéphanie, who really missed the tenderness of a man, met someone and is experiencing a very beautiful love story. Dorothée, the young mother who lives on 2000 francs a month, has started training as a florist, her lifelong dream. Finally, Rafaele, the young computer scientist, has left his parents' apartment and is working in Zurich where he has moved. We hope he makes friends quickly, and who knows, finds love.
