At Home I Feel Like Leaving

A young woman returns to her home village after her childlike father had gone missing in the surrounding woods. Throughout her day back home, she is torn between feeling responsible and a deep longing for connection and ease.

A group of young people spend the evening in the clubhouse. One of them is Toni, who, as usual, keeps to the background. In the stuffy air of the wood-panelled room they drink, gossip and embarrass each other, while pop songs play in the background. Business as usual. As the night goes on, Toni watches an older couple dancing and starts to wonder what he really wants.
