80 min.

Moving fluidly between performance and reflection, How to Clean a House in Ten Easy Steps imagines a world in which the director’s mother Beatriz, a domestic worker in the US, is a best-selling author. Using the fabricated book as a framework to explore the complex conditions of her life, mother and daughter weave a fantastical and fragmented tale of immigration, domestic labor, authorship, and mythology.
