HOME FOR THE WEEKEND

During a family gathering, Marko’s mother, who has been mentally unstable since he was a child, feels so healthy after a homeopathic treatment that she stops taking her medication. Her announcement triggers different reactions and revelations in the family, tipping its structure out of balance.

The seemingly indestructible bonds of familial love are put to the the test in Hans-Christian Schmid’s knotty chamber drama. With secrets spilt over the course of a weekend, the toll that mental illness takes on interpersonal relationships is sympathetically portrayed by a sterling ensemble cast.
