Home focuses on a group of youngsters and the adults that surround them. Both find it difficult to communicate and to understand each other's closed-off world. Into this community of two struggling generations arrives 17-year-old Kevin. He goes to live with his aunt and his cousin Sammy, where he starts an apprenticeship as a plumber. Once in his new home, things are a little awkward at first, but Kevin does his best to be polite and nice. He establishes a bond with his aunt and Sammy. Through Sammy's circle of friends Kevin gets to know John, who lives an unbearable situation with his single mother. Little by little, a strong friendship begins to develop between Kevin and John. As we discover that John's situation at home becomes unbearable, Kevin feels the urge to help his new friend. Then one evening fate intervenes and questions of betrayal, trust and loyalty start to direct their daily lives more than ever. (Venice International Film Festival)

Fien Troch is said to be an acclaimed Belgian filmmaker. Personally, I have to say that it’s pretty obvious in this film, even though it’s my first encounter with her. Already at the first glance, everything looks very cinematic. The film is shot in a very sophisticated fashion (for example including mobile phone shots), capturing the clash of two generations unable to understand each other. What I appreciate about the story is the harshness, emotionless emptiness and brutality that are conveyed not only by the individual scenes but in general by the approach of those youngsters that deserve some proper smacking to wake up. But that will never happen to them as the story is set in the West, namely Belgium.
