Synopsis:

Home

Running time: 1hr 35m

"The feature-length documentary ‘HOME’ is an attempt to answer one of the most vital questions in all our lives: what is the meaning of home?  

The film focuses on family, identity, emigration (through the lens of Polish-Irish-South African-English ties), as well as the circle of life, death and rebirth. 

The axis of the film is a house which connects and shelters, which allows the lives of the characters to be transformed.  

Its inspiration was a seven-year collection of films and photographs covering the lives of a handful of people ejected from their own cultures and homes, who are creating home and finding love at the house of a 90-year-old writer in suburban London."
