Home Away From Home

A bittersweet drama that unfolds almost without dialogue, this prizewinning short film conveys the isolation of immigrant women’s experiences. Miriam lives with her children in a cramped amd dreary house near the airport. The places overhead remind her of how far removed she is from her rural African roots. She eventually constructs a beautiful mud hut in the garden, a magical space which takes her away from the loneliness crowding her suburban existence.
