Housekeeping for Beginners

Dir. Goran Stolevski North Macedonia, Croatia, Serbia, Kosovo, Poland, Australia, USA 107 min R

2023

In Macedonian, Romani, and Albanian with English subtitles

From acclaimed filmmaker Goran Stolevski comes a story exploring the universal truths of family, both the ones we’re born into and the ones we find for ourselves. Departing radically from the poise of his folk-horror debut You Won’t Be Alone and the gentle intimacy of its swift follow-up Of an Age, this study of domestic, romantic and generational conflicts in a crowded queer household instead embraces a spirit of antic chaos, both in subject matter and jagged, hit-the-ground-running execution. Selected as North Macedonia’s international Oscar submission for 2023 and the winner of the Queer Lion at the Venice Film Festival, don't miss this exhilaratingly rowdy domestic drama.

Synopsis

Dita never wanted to be a mother, but circumstances force her to raise her girlfriend’s two daughters, tiny troublemaker Mia and rebellious teen Vanesa. A battle of wills ensues as the three continue to butt heads and become an unlikely family that must fight to stay together.
