Living in the Pacific Northwest Alex feels uprooted; searching for meaning and connection he moves back to his home country only to discover he is a stranger in his own land until a random event leads him to an unexpected connection.
In Home(sick), director Raúl Peyret tells the story of Alex, a 40-something immigrant living in Seattle. Disconnected from his roots and weary of his monotonous corporate life, Alex feels increasingly isolated. Struggling with modern relationships and longing for a sense of belonging, he makes the life-changing decision to return to his hometown of Córdoba, Argentina. Welcomed by friends and family, Alex embarks on a heartfelt journey of self-discovery and cultural reconnection. Home(sick) is a touching exploration of the challenges of finding one's place in the world and the healing power of returning home.—REG
