Back Home is an autobiographical documentary about the filmmaker’s heart-rending personal journey to reconcile with her estranged mother, who is about to undergo hip surgery in Tokyo. Filmed mostly by the director herself, the story explores the complexity of the Mother-Daughter relationship, which had been strained over the years apart by physical and emotional distance.
