Home Sweet Home

“Let’s pretend we’re doing well.”

Sami Luoto is a family man in his forties who has a secret dream. He wants to succeed like his father and build a fancy house for himself, his wife and their teenage daughter.
Home Sweet Home is the story of one unlucky man’s descent into disaster, a dramatic, human-destiny thriller with contemporary social undertones. What is the measure of success? Can you measure love? Can a man fail totally and then pick himself up and try again?
Despite its challenging subject, the movie – based on the novel of the same title by Marko Leino – is full of humor with an ending that offers hope to all.
