Khaneh Ma: These Places We Call Home (2006)

Khaneh Ma: These Places We Call Home examines the question of what defines home by presenting the lives of three generations of Iranians living in Iran, Canada, and Germany. The film begins with the director's return to Iran, her country of cultural origin, where she becomes reacquainted with family she has not seen in over ten years and rediscovers a culture that has remained a quiet yet ever-present part of her life in Canada. As the journey unfolds, we uncover rarely seen aspects of Iranian culture as experienced by the director, while witnessing firsthand the process of leaving an old culture behind and the journey into a new one.
