Home Sweet Home

A couple living on a boat in Paris go to the USA for Thanksgiving. Michael thinks the journey is futile as families never get on, but Heidi disagrees strongly. As they drive to Boston in permanent rain, a dreamy atmosphere invades the car stimulating poetic memories of childhood, in WASP Boston for Heidi, in Zimbabwe when it was still a British colony for Michael. A moving portrait of two different yet oddly similar upbringings which raises questions on the necessity and value of family while vividly contrasting cultures in Africa and the Western world.
