Home Is You

What begins as an optimistic 'love story' quickly develops into despair when Yaelle's father ostracized her for her decision to have a lesbian wedding with Aya. Aya, a 32-year-old musician with no boundaries or doubts about her identity as a lesbian, meets Yaelle, a 29-year-old multimedia artist and new immigrant to Israel from a conservative French family. They create performances together. Their encounter develops into a story of true love, and Yaelle makes the difficult decision to reveal her homosexuality to her parents. Hope turns to despair as Yaelle is forced to sever her relationship with her family who refuse to accept her. The young couple flies to Toronto to get married, but Yaelle then suffers an acute post-nuptial depression. She emerges from this depression to face her identity regarding herself, her culture, and her family. Home is You is a brave and intimate documentary portrait. Vibrant, full of humor, real, and touching,
