An intimate sneak-peek into a contemporary taboo topic: intimate lives of the female migrants away from home. Olha is a migrant care worker in Naples, whose life could fill up a few telenovelas. And yet, it is so similar to the lives of many Ukrainian women in Italy. Will Olha be able to give Naples a chance and find a true feeling among the routines of her transnational life?
Olena Fedyuk
Olena Fedyuk, was born in Ukraine. In the last 20 years, she has been moving around Europe pursuing her professional interest – research in gendered migration flows, migrant labour, and the moral economy of migration. She holds a PhD in Social Anthropology but since 2012, she’s turned to film as a medium for both research and outreach, and a way to grasp humour and contradictions of migration stories. Her films are not about migration per se but about people who have embarked on complicated life journeys, both emotionally and geographically.
