Also a Life ()

Overview

Also a Life follows the daily life of residents and staff at a respite home for children and young people with developmental disabilities and autism. Through team leader Eivor, we see both the joys and challenges of life here, as they interact with residents, relatives, the staff, and the system around them. When Lilja, an 18-year-old with Downs Syndrome, becomes pregnant, Eivor must try to guide both Lilja, her parents, and the residence safely through the uncertainty and questions that arise, all while maintaining the routines and tasks of everyday life.
