Home Game is a wake-up call for our times. Through Lidija Zelovic’s eyes, we confront the echoes of a divided Yugoslavia, a place torn apart by nationalism and civil war, now reflected in the rising tide of right-wing politics, nationalism, and racial tension sweeping across the Netherlands and beyond. By blending family moments with the stark reality of today’s social divisions, the film reveals the dangerous parallels between past and present, urging us to question what ‘home’ truly means in an age of deepening divides. With wit, intelligence, and haunting clarity, Zelovic invites audiences everywhere to see the cost of repeating history’s mistakes, challenging us to resist the forces of division and embrace unity. This film is essential viewing for anyone seeking to understand, and change, the world around us.
