Return Home

A poignant and introspective drama, "Return Home" (1990) tells the story of two brothers, one a successful insurance broker who has divorced, and the other, his laid-back brother-in-law who operates a struggling service station in their hometown of Adelaide. As they spend time together, the brothers reconcile with each other's life choices and find value in the family life they once knew. Shot on 16mm but blown up to 35mm for a wider release, this understated Australian film was praised for its thoughtful portrayal of family dynamics and the struggles of small business owners.
