IFFMH presents: ›Housekeeping for Beginners‹ by Goran Stolevski
Queer Cinema: We are showing the third feature film by IFFMH winner Goran Stolevski at the Queer Festival in Heidelberg
Dita’s estate is the entirely unusual home of a wildly diverse group of queer people. When Dita’s partner becomes terminally ill, she takes an oath to raise her two daughters. But Dita neither wants to be a mother, nor do the children want to accept her as one. In order to save this patchwork family though, Dita has to go even further – all the way to marrying the only man currently available.
Goran Stolevski’s third feature once again proves his exceptional skills: with speed and relish, he thrusts the viewer right into a community of supposedly incompatible characters. He thus explores the possibility of love and family beyond conventional ideas of gender and relationships. A very contemporary film and a must-see.
About the director: With ›You Won’t Be Alone‹, Goran Stolevski, who grew up in Northern Macedonia and lives in Australia, won our 2022 Newcomer Award. In 2023, his second film ›Of an Age‹ is also screening in the section FILMSCAPES. Moreover, we are proud to welcome the successful director as a juror at IFFMH this year.
See you at the Queer Festival on May 19!
Tickets are available at the Karlstorkino
