Lidija Zelovic has been portraying her displaced family in the Netherlands since 1993, since they fled their war-torn home in Sarajevo.
Zelovic's film essay exposes the duality that all migrants live with: what is 'home'? By doing so, the filmmaker draws attention to disruptive social and political developments in the Netherlands, which she recognizes from her native (fallen apart) Yugoslavia. Drawing from her family film archive, Zelović alternates scenes at home—discussions about politics and football on Sundays with her parents and brother, her son growing up, the holidays 'at home' in Bosnia—with political events in the Netherlands, such as political murders, scandals involving government discrimination, growing social polarization, increasing unrest in society and the acceptance of radical right-wing politics at the center of power.
Home Game offers a sometimes funny, often confrontational and always sincere look into Zelovic's life, which functions as a mirror for the current political climate in the Netherlands and many other countries around the world.
