🎬 Housekeeping for Beginners (Domakinstvo za Pochetnici) 🏠

"Housekeeping for Beginners" is a vibrant, chaotic, and deeply touching exploration of "chosen family" set in the hills of Skopje 🇲🇰. The story revolves around Dita (Anamaria Marinca), a social worker who never intended to be a mother, but finds her home filled with a colorful cast of queer outcasts and Roma youth who have nowhere else to go 🏳️‍🌈.

When her partner, Suada, is diagnosed with a terminal illness, Dita is forced to step up and promise to raise Suada's two daughters—despite the fact that she has no legal right to them and a complicated relationship with motherhood 👩‍👧‍👧. To keep the family together, she must navigate a conservative society by entering into a "marriage of convenience" with a local gay man, Toni. The film is a loud, messy, and beautiful celebration of the bonds we create when the ones we were born into fail us, capturing the grit and gold of everyday survival 🍷✨.
