| Summary |
Set in the dreary, unforgiving mid-19th century German village of Schabbach, HOME FROM HOME captures the plight of hundreds of thousands of Europeans who emigrated to faraway South America to escape the famine, poverty and despotism that ruled at home, encompassing a time of tribulation and great intellectual revolution. Not content to allow himself to be suffocated in such as dismal environment, Jakob (Jan Dieter Schneider) rebels against his tormentors by immersing himself in forbidden literature and an ill-fated attempt to stand in solidarity with like-minded revolutionaries before his dreams to escape the Prussian homeland are shattered. Through his enduring sense of optimistic wonder Jakob discovers a sense of purpose within his new destiny. Featuring Werner Herzog in a special appearance as Alexander Von Humboldt. |
