How to Be at Home

About This Movie

How to Be at Home is a reflective piece that dives deep into the nuances of solitude. It’s like a warm embrace — the animation is both simple and rich, with a handmade quality that feels intimate. The collaboration between Andrea Dorfman and Tanya Davis brings a unique blend of voice and visuals; the poetry resonates in a way that pulls you in. The pacing is gentle, allowing viewers to sit with their feelings of isolation without rushing through it. There's a raw honesty here, exploring what it means to be alone yet connected in the experience of life. It’s thought-provoking, almost meditative, and the animation feels like it’s been crafted with care, making each frame significant in its own right. It's a sequel that knows the weight of its predecessor but carves its own path.
