Back Home (2020)

In the tranquil yet tumultuous landscape of Valence, nestled deep within south-eastern France's rolling hills, lies an isolated farmhouse. This is where Thomas, a prodigal son returning from self-imposed exile in Canada, finds himself drawn back into the intricate web of his estranged family's life. The somber news of his terminally ill mother, Catherine, casts a long shadow over his homecoming. As Thomas steps back into the worn, weather-beaten farmhouse that echoes with his past, he begins to unravel the thread of recent events. The farm, once the pride of his family, now teeters on the brink of financial ruin. His father, Michel, a figure sunk deep into the abyss of chronic depression, and his brother, who has taken a desperate detour into the murky realms of extreme right politics, add to the unsettling revelations. The mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of his other brother, Mathieu, add another layer of intrigue. Drawn into the heart of this familial storm is the enigmatic Mona, Mathieu's former flame, and her young son, Alex. Residing within the farmhouse's rustic walls, they add an unexpected dimension to Thomas's return. Finding himself stepping into the shoes of a surrogate father for Alex, Thomas also becomes an unexpected beacon of stability in Mona's world. In a tale woven with complex relationships, political undertones, and the unyielding grip of the past, "Back Home" explores the poignant journey of a man reconciling with his roots while navigating the realities of the present.
