With a beautifully understated execution, Chris Chuky’s film for Carer’s UK is intentional in how it recognises the world’s so many unpaid carers.
This is a story of love told gently. The subtle camera movement, from family photos to a glimpse into the present, speaks to the gradual evolution of these relationships. With soft light and warm colours, Chuky imbues every frame with an optimistic, nostalgic tone.
Family photos memorialise the beaming smile of a father bathing his grinning baby, the mischievous joy of a big and little sister conspiring to sneak top shelf sweets, and a mother lovingly styling her son’s hair.

From these framed moments in time, we move to see snapshots of the present day. The baby has grown into the warmly smiling woman who cares for and bathes her father. The younger sister now helps her older sister pot a bouquet of flowers. A son tenderly trims his elderly mother’s hair.
Their caretaking dynamic may have shifted, but their precious bond prevails.
ELEANOR director Chris Chuky’s film for Carers UK is a touching family story that educates viewers on the diversity within what becoming a carer can look like.
The shape of this story honours the hard work of caretaking and the power of familial care through time.
