Rich with the sounds and textures of home movies and music, дом is a meditative portrait of a young man as he reflects on his concept of home, family, and belonging. As a Russian expatriate, his situation is increasingly complicated by political and global uncertainties, feelings of disconnection from his home country, and searching for a sense of home.
