Home Care (Domaci pece)


Watch Trailer
“Beautifully written and performed…an examination of what is important in life. – Alissa Simon, Variety

Dedicated home care nurse Vlasta attends her whimsical patients in her Southern Moravia country region. After Vlasta learns about her own serious illness and need for help, she has to reach outside of her comfort zone for it. Thanks to the daughter of one of her patients who introduces her to an esoteric mentor, Vlasta starts to discover the realm of alternative healing which leads to understanding herself, hopefully… All this is frowned upon by her husband Lada, who doesn’t believe in all this nonsense one bit. Thus Vlasta has to fight both her illness and her husband’s common sense. Drama and comedy intertwine as Vlasta realizes – for the first time in her life – that she needs care too… Focusing strongly on authenticity of story and performances, Home Care blends contrasts of comic and tragic, of everyday struggles and universal visions, into an emotional journey of a middle-aged woman’s self-discovery.
