Her Job

When a severe recession makes finances tight for families all over Greece, shy but determined housewife, Panayiota, secures a job as a mall cleaner to support her husband and kids. Although she’s used to handling household domestic chores, ̶in between taking care of her cantankerous moody daughter,̶ this out-of-home position is much tougher—Panayiota is unable to read or drive and typically depends on her brusque, insulting husband for most daily activities. Yet the poignant and well-paced HER JOB demonstrates what happens when people are given a chance to thrive. Although out of her element at first, she blooms in the job, thanks to increased responsibilities and accepting co-workers—especially compassionate divorcee, Maria, who sees how much the lonely Panayiota needs a friend. Even when oppressive work conditions threaten her livelihood, the now-confident worker sees a world beyond her family’s cramped apartment—and feels ready to take control of her life. (In Greek with subtitles) —A.Z.
