Social + Film Screening: "Home Care" (Czech-Slovak, 2015)

Come meet other movie fans and see a quality foreign film!

Surprisingly, despite being a critical and box office hit in the Czech Republic, director Slávek Horák's bittersweet comedy/drama "Home Care" has apparently never had an actual theatrical run in NYC. (However, it was shown last year at the Museum of the Moving Image.)

Starring: Alena Mihulová, Bolek Polívka, Tatiana Vilhelmová

(Oh, and there will also be free seltzer and chocolate....)

==================================

SYNOPSIS:

Vlasta (Mihulová) is a home care nurse in her 50's who spends all her time taking care of others: her patients, her husband Lada (Polívka), and their grown but emotionally unstable daughter. Then an unexpected medical diagnosis starts her on a journey of self-discovery, and she must learn that she too needs to be taken care of....
