Family Business

Jowita is a Polish wife and mother and lives in construction site. To finally finish construction on the dream house, Jowita reluctantly decides to earn the needed money in Germany as a geriatric nurse. She leaves behind her daughter (13) and her husband. Anne (86) is also a mother, but her daughters do not have time to take care of her in her house in Bochum. Anne is frail and demented, only her typical regional humor and her sharp tongue still work. Two worlds collide. The "perfect win-win situation" proves double-edged.
