Synopsis:
"The Home" weighs in as a good-humored portrait on the oldest and largest Jewish homes in South Africa as its clients kvetch about companions and battle to elect a new Resident Committee. The residents are attended – with notable affection – by carers who are mostly Xhosa-speaking Black women working on minimum wages. “The Home” works as gentle observational comedy. But it’s also a record of a microcosmos of South Africa today, where a legacy of segregation still lingers.
