The movie Home is a personal witness of the effects of emigration. In 1968, while the Russian tanks are rolling in on Prague, 18 year old pregnant Madla is running away with her married lover, stage designer, Lubos Hruza, to Oslo, Norway, where their daughter, Margareta, is born. During some hard working years they reach great success in the theater business and they build the house of their dreams. On the height of fame, beauty and success, the mother decides to send her 14 year old daughter away from the family. From that moment on they are never to live together as a family again. Margareta is following the path of disintegration of her own family, and through the help of intimate confessions she is searching for answers to finding her lost home in Los Angeles, Prague and Oslo. Through her childhood memories we see a sketch of the family life she grew up in, a family life neglected by parents who never had time because of their high ambitions. Through dialogs she evokes memories of turning points in her family life, and she is trying with this to cure her homesickness, a longing for a home which hasnÂ’t existed for 20 years. Margareta Hruza with her Czech origins, a Norwegian citizenship and many years of studies in USA, can be considered a world citizen, but her situation has made an irreversible mark on her. That is why she confronts her parents and brings them together in a challenging situation in her original home country, Norway. Old pictures, photographs and furniture are all playing a part in bringing out painful memories, and it is just these items that can bring out the old pain, trauma and longing. And perhaps also understanding and mutual forgiveness.
