Award-winning documentary in which Lidija Zelovic has been portraying her displaced family in the Netherlands since 1993, when they had to flee their war-torn home in Sarajevo.

Lidija Zelovic has been portraying her displaced family in the Netherlands since 1993, when they had to flee their war-torn home in Sarajevo. Zelovic's film essay exposes the duality that all migrants live with: what is 'home'? In doing so, the filmmaker draws attention to disruptive social and political developments in the Netherlands, which she recognizes from her fallen native Yugoslavia.

Drawing from her family film archive, Zelovic alternates scenes at home - discussions about politics and football on Sundays with her parents and brother, her son growing up, the holidays 'at home' in Bosnia - with political events in the Netherlands, such as political murders, scandals involving government discrimination, growing social polarization, increasing unrest in society and the acceptance of radical right-wing politics at the center of power. Home Game, which was one of the audience favorites at IDFA 2024, offers a sometimes funny, often confrontational and always sincere look into Zelovic's life, which serves as a mirror for the current political climate in the Netherlands and many other countries around the world.
