Can you ever return to a place that's no longer home?
Home(sick) follows the journey of Alex, a middle-aged man living in the Pacific Northwest, who feels uprooted and disconnected from his surroundings. Searching for meaning and a sense of belonging, Alex returns to his home country, hoping to find familiarity and purpose. However, he soon discovers that the home he once knew now feels foreign, and he himself is a stranger in his own land. Just when all hope seems lost, a chance encounter leads Alex to an unexpected connection that helps him rediscover himself and embrace an evolving concept of home.
