Sinopsis(1)
How do you think it went? It’s the sort of question you might expect during an employee evaluation, but 18-year-old Sofie is being asked this question when all she wants is a place to live. She’s trying to find a room to rent in Amsterdam, where she studies — but that’s hard work in an overheated housing market. There’s even a special Dutch word for this housing interview process: hospiteren. It comes down to speed-dating with your potential housemates and doing your best to shine so you'll be selected. We accompany Sofie — and feel for her — as she visits student accommodations for introductory sessions, drinks and assessments. Will Sofie manage to make a good impression, while also remaining herself? Sofie’s experiences will be familiar to anyone who’s ever struggled with the nerve-wracking process of judging and being judged while chasing a scarce commodity — whether that’s a place to live, a prestigious study or love. It all raises questions about our society, which is increasingly fueled by assessments and ratings of products, services — and people too. (International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam)
