Inga is a mother with the soul of a poet at a crossroads. Her estranged husband Hermann is bereft of emotional support for her in the wake of her recovery from breast cancer, let alone her passion for buying and restoring and house that reminds her of her childhood home. She shares a close bond with her eight-year-old daughter, and though she is troubled by her decaying marriage, she retains a strong spirit of optimism, as expressed in her own writing.
Our read: Home (2008) reads as a sombre, measured, inventive drama entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
Sombre, measured, measured drama, inventive in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, measured.
