A provocative, intimate family drama that explores the blurred boundaries between familial and romantic love when two adult half-siblings meet for the first time, grappling with what family means when normal rules don't apply.

When Charlotte, 27, meets her brother Henrik, 35, for the first time as an adult, it becomes an encounter without boundaries, between two people who don't know what a normal family is. How does sibling love manifest itself if you have never experienced it before? Homesick is an unusual family drama about seeking a family, and breaking every rule to be one.
