Set in Trieste, Italy, but spanning as far as Australia, Federica Marzi's meditation on emigration, loss, love, and identity weaves together a multigenerational story about how hard it can be to let the wounds of the past heal. Against the summery backdrop of rugged Adriatic Sea coastline, Amila, a young Bosnian, and Norina, an elderly exile from the region of Istria in Croatia enter one another's lives. As a blooming youthful love forces Amila to keep secrets, the bitterness of another from decades earlier tears apart two sisters. In the forced and anticipated departures and arrivals that power My Home Somewhere Else, stories of emigration reveal just how much people share in common in their completely separate lives.
