Best Interests

In a care home review meeting, a family is asked to decide what is best for an elderly man whose wishes are becoming harder to define. As professional language, family history and practical realities begin to overlap, the meeting reveals how easily care can become a question of process, responsibility and control.


Best Interests is a short film directed by Gerald Gyimah as part of the Tableau series. Across eight short films, the series explores systems, procedures, memory, and moral pressure.
