Housekeeping
Watch TrailerSylvie Fisher arrived by train, bringing the wind and the river's dampness with her. Her nieces, two girls left motherless, watch as their aunt's unconventional ways slowly reshape their orderly small-town lives. What begins as a simple visit becomes a quiet rebellion against a world that demands neatness and permanence. Bill Forsyth’s 1987 tragicomedy is a delicate, bittersweet portrait of family, freedom, and the choice between fitting in or floating away.
