Load

Directed by Simone Tschirren

Collection: Degree Films 2025

In search of stories with a happy ending, we meet an exhausted princess, a well-cared-for mother goat, a rebellious witch and an old woman who beats out bed linen - characters who carry, live and question care work. Between everyday life and utopia, exhaustion and dignity, they tell of the burden and beauty of invisible care work. Until the lifestyle of the tradwives flickers and the roar of the washing machine brings the soup to the boil. A not quite traditional fairy tale about the question: What is this work really worth to us?
