Lu leaves for a remote rural village to live with grandmother after she hears her grandfather has passed away. Being smart but unskilled in human relations, she discovers various aspects of life there that she didn’t know existed before. She starts to understand the meaning of family, the excitement of love and the delights of simple life. Home is a heartwarming film that talks about friendship beyond generations, love, and the sheer delight of a simple life. Its main focus is on a shy, socially awkward woman who breaks out of her cocoon and discovers the beauty of life. It is nothing new to talk about the changes of modern intellectuals as they leave the city and settle in a country, but this film is special in the point that it creates a world full of humanity with small cinematic gizmos and appeals to the audience with the power of positive atmosphere. Moreover, the director’s wit, which plays from the very first sequence, injects vitality and uniqueness throughout the film. This film is simple but connective, and talks about the universal themes such as friendship, family union, and discovery of love through the characters’ actions rather than their dialogue.
