Housekeeping

The story of a woman slightly distracted by the possibilities of life.

A tender, melancholic portrait of unconventional family bonds and the tension between belonging and freedom, set in a small 1950s Pacific Northwest town.

In the Pacific Northwest during the 1950s, two young sisters whose mother has abandoned them wind up living with their Aunt Sylvie, whose views of the world and its conventions don't quite live up to most people's expectations.
