Caregiver (film)

The film stars Sharon Cuneta, portraying the role of Sarah, a mother who left her son in the Philippines and also a teacher who relinquished her profession in lieu of care giving in London, in hopes of augmenting her salary.

More than just a chronicle of the Filipino experience working as nurses and caregivers in the UK, this story also charts Sarah's journey of self-discovery from a submissive wife who makes sacrifices for her husband's aspirations to an empowered woman who finds dignity and pride in a humbling job as a caregiver in London.

In typical Pinoy fashion, she shares tearful goodbyes with her family at the airport when she finally leaves for the United Kingdom.

While shopping at a neighborhood store, Sarah meets Sean, a spunky Filipino boy, as he tries to shoplift chocolate bars.

After the initial fleeting period of excitement, she experiences the hard challenges every Filipino caregiver faces every day: cold weather, dirty work and difficult patients.

While packing her bags, she notices the book Mr. Morgan gave her and reads his letter describing how lucky her husband and son are to have her and reminding her that she is a person who should do things that make her feel alive.

The story ends with Sarah reunited with her son Paulo and Sean enjoying London's Buckingham Palace.
