This Is My Home is a poignant documentary that captures the essence of an emigrant family's journey back to their roots. We see João Pedro Rodrigues weaving together the daily life of a cobbler and a janitor in Paris with their road trip through the landscapes of France and Spain, eventually leading to Trás-os-Montes. The atmosphere is infused with a bittersweet nostalgia, as the couple's mundane routines contrast sharply with the excitement and unpredictability of their journey. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing moments of reflection amidst the hustle. What stands out is how it portrays the immigrant experience, not just as a physical journey but an emotional one too, filled with longing and connection to home. It's raw, real, and just hangs beautifully in the air.
