IM HAUS MEINER ELTERN

In her parents’ house, Holle’s brother Sven has been living in silent isolation for decades. He remains detached from the family‘s life, seeming to fade away more and more each year. What goes on inside him is a mystery to everyone, and his family has quietly come to terms with the situation – a fragile balance of silence and tolerance. Only Holle is the one who has never fully accepted this situation. Nevertheless, she no longer brings it up, focusing instead on her new calling as a spiritual healer. For the first time, Holle is taking steps toward her own self-fulfillment. But when her mother is unexpectedly admitted to the hospital, the deceptive calm shatters. Holle is increasingly confronted with her brother‘s worsening condition and becomes determined to help him, despite his resistance and the family’s reluctance. While her other siblings look away, Holle senses a far greater crisis looming.

IN MY PARENTS’ HOUSE is an incisive exploration of the toll caregiving takes on families and examines the unspoken tensions and quiet sacrifices that define family life under pressure.
