Home in E Major
Observing the everyday routines and dramatic upheavals of a cross-generational and multicultural shared house, Rachkovsky turns a story about her own move from Jerusalem to Durham, North Carolina, into a powerful and moving reflection on emotional bonds, mutual care, ageing and death. As the connection between the young filmmaker and her elderly landlady develops, we begin to realise how the most profound moments in life are those that often pass by unnoticed. Screens with Hazel Isle, a documentary shot on Isle of Coll in Scotland. [PG]
