Sinopsis
When ex-con Marvin rolls back to his family home after 17 years in jail for killing a woman when he was a teenager. He finds out that the inhabitants of his crappy hometown in California haven’t forgotten and want to take revenge on him. The film reflects on guilt, revenge, but also on redemption. Exquisite in style and content, Home features images that show the emptiness surrounding America's forgotten lower class.
