Rosemarie, a 90-year-old nursing home resident living in Switzerland, is the unlikely star of a touching new ad released in the country as part of a healthcare recruitment drive.

The elderly woman, who was born in Germany, is the subject of a new animated film created by Roof Studio that tells the story of the joys and sorrows of her life.

She told her life story to her caretaker, Livio, and her words were transformed to narrate a gentle yet powerful film that aims to remind younger generations that elderly people, too, have a story to tell.
