Housekeeping for Beginners
Brilliantly political without being preachy, loving without being maudlin and epic by being specifically tiny.
Housekeeping for Beginners
Housekeeping for Beginners explores the universal truths of family, encompassing both the bonds we inherit and those we create. The narrative follows Dita, who, despite never aspiring to be a mother, finds herself compelled to raise her girlfriend’s two daughters—Mia, a tiny troublemaker, and Vanesa, a rebellious teenager. As their individual wills clash, a heartwarming story unfolds about an unlikely family's struggle to stay together.
