Family Business

88-year old Anne from Bochum, Germany reigns her kingdom from her sofa. Anne is suffering from dementia. She can‘t live by herself anymore. Jowita‘s family has been living on the construction site of what is to be their future home in Lubin, Poland for years. They are out of money and Jowita is desperate to get a job. This seemly perfect win-win situation brings both families together. Jowita is employed to provide full-time care for Anne. But the old lady finds it hard to make sense of Jowita‘s presence in her life. The days grow long for Jowita as she is stuck in the old woman‘s routine far away from her own family. The two families exchange time for money and thereby turn family into a place of business. The film follows the trail of the economy into this private realm.
