On January 19th 2016, Carolina is on the other side of the world when she receives a phone call from home where she is informed that both of her sons have been shot, the killings witnessed by her 13-year-old daughter. She takes the first flight back home to Stockholm, but the worst has already happened: her youngest son has died and her eldest is in a coma.
fifteen zero three nineteenth of january two thousand sixteen refuses one-dimensional depictions of the violence currently taking place in the outskirts of Swedish cities. The film portrays how Carolina Sinisalo’s routines and gestures are transformed when her children are shot. How a home holds memories, but also the possibility of refusal and change. How the kitchen table becomes a place to mourn, share stories, and mobilize.
fifteen zero three nineteenth of january two thousand sixteen is the third installment of the four-part film project Looking for Jeanne, based on Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles from 1975 by Chantal Akerman.
