- Synopsis
- Back Home follows a sister’s pursuit to get to know her older brother, 20 years after he took his own life. Over a five year period, she connects with the friends who knew him best as a teenager - his chosen family. Through intimate recollections re-imagined on 16mm and Super8 film, and lyrical, handmade visuals, Back Home floats between memory and present time in a fragmented meditation on identity, loss, and healing, exploring the transformative power of grieving in community rather than in isolation.
