Homesick

1 hr. 46 min. | Drama | N/A

Charlotte’s smirking as she sits on her psychologist’s couch. She doesn’t even need that psychologist. She’s 28-year-old woman and her relationship with her mother was doomed from the beginning: maybe even when she was in her womb. Charlotte’s mother kept to herself the fact that she had another baby before Charlotte. Recently that baby Henrik with his wife and child appeared in their life again. Or for the first time in Charlotte’s case. Two people, who have never experienced normal relationship with their families, are trying to form a bond of their own. And there are no limits to that.
