Catherine Corsini, director of the excellent “The Divide” (TLVfest 2021), is back with another magnificent drama that was part of the Palme d’Or official competition at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
Khédidja is working as nanny for a wealthy Parisian family that takes her to the summer holidays on Corsica island. She brings along her two teenage daughters Jessica and Farah. This is an opportunity for the mother and two daughters to go back to the island they left in a hurry 15 years ago under tragic circumstances. While the mother is overcome with memories, the two daughters enjoy everything summer has to offer – unexpected rendez-vous, first love experiences and parties far into the night. In between, questions of their family history on the island arise, which lead the two girls to discover other sides to their mother’s version of the events that she never disclosed.

Just like in her previous film, Corsini creates a microcosm of tensions due to race, sex and gender with a strong and moving female story. “Homecoming” is a drama that is sure to move and impress the viewers.
