Tip from Cineville: Malmö Queer Film Festival

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. The household, a collective place of refuge for LGBT+ Romani people, includes the grumpy older Toni and the 19 year old Ali, who one day came to the house and stayed, as well as three more teenage girls, who come and go and do their own thing. Conflicts are inevitable, chaos is everyday life. Dita does everything to keep the household together. Not as a traditional family, but in a way that makes them choose each other, everytime.

The crew behind Housekeeping for Beginners is a mix of queer and Romani creative artists. A fact that offers perspectives that paint a realistic picture of multifaceted discrimination, conflicts, survival strategies and love.
