The Good Life (2010) watch online HD

The Beckmanns used to have more money than they could spend. Now it's all gone. The mother now supports her daughter off a small pension as they share a small apartment in wealthy Cascais, Portugal. The daughter, now in her mid-50s, never needed a job until now; she assures herself that she deserves more from life. Filmmaker Eva Mulvad observes their attempts at making ends meet, their hopes for the future, their malicious confrontations.

Inspired by a Danish radio documentary by Kirsten Laumann, "Deroute på første klasse" from 2006, about the same family.

Inspired by the American documentary Grey Gardens (1975).

Over 100 hours of footage were filmed over the course of three years.
