A critical look into our society's obsession with perfection in everything and everyone.
Why o why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we think everything everywhere has to be perfect all at once? Is perfection really something to strive towards? This programme offers a critical look into our society's obsession with perfection in everything and everyone. Utopia doesn't exist - we all know it. Not everyone is world-class in sports - which is fine. You don't have to be liked by everyone - yet we try to be. We are all flawed human beings, so why do we feel the need to crave for perfection, whether it's in politics or sports or with our bodies and our creations?
