Home Sweet Home

About This Movie

So, 'Home Sweet Home' is this quirky little piece from 2008 that blends comedy and drama in a rather unique way. You've got Masha, this student lost in a foreign city, and her dad Mikhail Andreyevich who's rummaging through a database for vacant apartments. What sets it apart? Masha's not just looking for a roof over her head; she’s breaking into these empty places with a lock pick. There's this odd charm in her escapades, a sort of rebellious spirit that makes you root for her. The pacing drifts along, allowing the viewer to soak in the atmosphere of a city that feels both inviting and isolating. It’s a study of migration in a way, capturing that transient feeling of youth and freedom, coupled with a hint of desperation. The practical effects? Minimal, but the performances have this rawness that really pulls you into Masha's world.

Interesting take on student life and migration. · Explores themes of isolation and freedom. · Subtle humor woven into dramatic moments.
