Short Synopsis: | Homecoming is a poignant visual narrative that blends the genres of documentary, fiction, and dance to explore the emotional journey of returning home after an extended absence. It intricately navigates the complex tapestry of feelings—guilt, resentment, shame, and gratitude—that inundate us upon reconnecting with our roots, prompting a reflective exploration of our childhood selves and the transformative forces shaping our present identities. |
