Synopsis

Missing Home explores how the demolition of a house causes not only material loss but deep emotional upheaval for its former inhabitants. Divided into four parts, the film examines the relationship between space, objects, and memory through a non-linear narrative featuring photos and personal archives. The emptiness left behind symbolizes the erasure of emotional ties and lived memories. The film invites us to see the home as an emotional space shaped by lived experience.
