Childhood Home
How does it feel to suddenly lose your childhood home?
Sanne, who lives just a few streets away from her parents, experiences their everyday life first hand. She recognizes that they gradually need more and more help; and that their house is becoming less suitable for them. Thus, she makes the difficult decision that they have to leave. But when her sisters Petra and Gitti find out, they are horrified. How could Sanne uproot her parents like this? The siblings already strained relationship is put to the test and old wounds open up. They discover just how much there is to confront.
- Cleverly observant and, yet, with a loving eye Ute Mank tells of elderly parents, estranged sisters and of a house that is so much more than four walls and a roof
