This film is a timely exploration of the complex political and personal situation faced by the children of foreign workers in Israel. Where does identity come from? And what makes you connected to your homeland? Homecoming takes us on a moving journey with three teenagers who were born in Israel to foreign workers who came to Israel in search of a better life. These kids are not Jewish, but are deeply Israeli – and their individual journeys take on cultural and emotional dimensions. We travel with them to the Congo, to Peru, and to the Philippines as they examine their roots and contemplate their future.
