Synopsis
“Home Game” follows Lidija Zelović as she portrays her displaced family in the Netherlands since fleeing Sarajevo in 1993. Using her family film archive, the film contrasts everyday life—family discussions, her son growing up, holidays in Bosnia—with political events in the Netherlands, highlighting social unrest, polarization, and the rise of radical politics. Sometimes funny, often confrontational, and always sincere, the film reflects Zelović’s life as a mirror of contemporary political climates worldwide.
Sinopsis
“Domaća utakmica” prati Lidiju Zelović i njenu porodicu raseljenu u Holandiji nakon bijega iz Sarajeva 1993. Koristeći obiteljski filmski arhiv, film uspoređuje svakodnevni život – porodične razgovore, odrastanje sina, praznike u Bosni – s političkim događajima u Holandiji, ističući društvenu napetost, polarizaciju i rast radikalne politike. Ponekad duhovit, često konfrontirajući i uvijek iskren, film odražava autoričin život kao ogledalo suvremenih političkih prilika u svijetu.
