About

A young man from the Dominican Republic starts a care internship in Ghent, where he gradually earns the residents' trust.

Les dames blanches is a Belgian documentary by Camille Ghekiere. It follows Simeon, a young man from the Dominican Republic who begins an internship as a care worker at De Liberteyt, a residential care centre in Ghent. His family moved from the Dominican Republic to Belgium, where his mother's midwifery diploma and her many years of experience were not recognised. Simeon is able to work in the care sector. At the home, residents are at first reserved, but he gradually gains their trust, and they begin to share memories and stories with him. His approach to elderly care differs from that of his colleagues, and a few eccentric older women become increasingly interested in him.
