Housekeeping for Beginners

Housekeeping for Beginners

Dita (Anamaria Marinca) never wanted to be a mother, but circumstances have left her with the task of raising her girlfriend's two daughters: tiny troublemaker Mia (Dzada Selim) and rebellious teen Vanesa (Mia Mustafi). With the addition of a few local queer folks in need of refuge, her house becomes a shelter of sorts for outcasts. A battle of wills ensues as Dita and the kids continue to butt heads and become an unlikely family that must fight to stay together. From acclaimed filmmaker Goran Stolevski (Of an Age, You Won't Be Alone), this winner of Venice's illustrious Queer Lion award is at its core a story about the universal truths of family - both the ones we're born into and the ones we find for ourselves.
