About this event
On October 14, see the warmly rendered drama Home Sweet Home ! Single mother Sofie starts a new career as a caretaker for the elderly, only to be humbled by the toll it takes on her physical and mental state, in this authentic and rewarding glimpse at the uncelebrated world of healthcare workers from director Frelle Petersen. We meet Sofie (Jette Søndergaard) as she begins her new elder-care job in a small Danish city. Each day, she travels from flat to flat, helping with bathing, cooking, cleaning bed sores, changing linens, and—most importantly—just chatting with lonely patients who feel abandoned. The recently divorced Sofie also struggles to raise her taciturn young daughter, Clara. Sofie’s even temperament is well-suited for her demanding tasks, but she is also subject to intense pressures of staff shortages and rudeness. When one of her client’s relatives lambastes her for alleged ineptitude, Sofie begins questioning her ability to maintain intimate connections with patients, co-workers, and even her own family.
