Festival history

Home Away from Home is a partially animated children’s documentary film about nine-year-old Oona whose parents are divorced. Since her father’s move to another town, Oona has traveled alone to see him every other weekend. During the train ride Oona ponders what it is like to be raised in two homes and why grownups don’t want to be together. The hundreds of kilometers long, sometimes boring and exhausting train ride is necessary so Oona can see both of her parents.
