    • Synopsis
    • "HOME(SICK)" is a poignant drama with some fun moments that explores the themes of identity, belonging, and the concept of home. The story follows Alex, a 40-year-old Argentinian native living in Seattle (Raúl E. Peyret), who struggles with loneliness and a sense of disconnection from his surroundings. Despite his successful career, Alex feels out of place and yearns for a sense of home.

      The narrative unfolds as Alex moves back to Argentina, through a series of flashbacks and present-day scenes, contrasting Alex's past happiness with his current state of emotional exhaustion. His journey takes a turn when he meets Felix (AJ Amber), an exchange student and artist living in Argentina who challenges Alex's perceptions of identity and belonging.

      As their relationship develops, Alex confronts his past and reevaluates what it means to feel at home. The film culminates in a transformative experience that redefines Alex's understanding of love, acceptance, and the places we call home.

      "HOME(SICK)" is a story of self-discovery and the universal search for a place where one truly belongs. It's a film that resonates with anyone who has ever felt homesick, not just for a place, but for a feeling of being whole.
