Winner—World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award for Cinematography, Sundance Festival 2020.
In the remote wilderness of the Bucharest Delta, located outside the bustling Romanian metropolis, the Enache family lived in perfect harmony with nature for two decades. When this area is transformed into a public national park, the nine children and their parents are forced to leave behind their unconventional existence and move to the city, where fishing rods are replaced by smartphones and idle afternoons are now spent in classrooms. With their roots in the wilderness, how will the Enaches keep their family united in the concrete jungle? A powerful and poetic rumination on living off the grid—and on the margins—Acasa, My Home illustrates bittersweet truths about freedom and society, and how we define a life worth choosing.
