About Home Away
Joep is on the verge of bankruptcy. That is why this year the family holiday is no luxurious stay in Portugal, but a simple domestic getaway. In fact the getaway even means a flight from Joep’s criminal clients. With his wife Claire and daughter Saskia, Joep stays in an old cabin at a declining campsite. Across from them a Sinti family settles in. Whereas Claire and Joep are not particularly keen on getting in touch with the family, something beautiful blooms between Saskia and Dukker, the son of the Sintis.
Directed by Hanro Smitsman, Home Away leans on a strong ensemble — Lottie Hellingman, Amalia Yuno, Max van den Burg — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about family titles of 2011.
