Title:Homebird

A young artist seeking to make it in a big city and make a name for herself finds herself withdrawing into rose-tinted recollections of the home she left behind. Because no matter how much you try, memories will always try to find their way back to you. This film exemplifies how seemingly ordinary photos can be constructed to convey a fascinating, nuanced tale about growing up and moving away from home while being true to oneself and your origins.
