WHAT WE CALL HOME

On the outskirts of paradise, a family grows up in a self-governed houseless community on the island of Oʻahu. As the looming threat of government removal draws closer, memories of the community’s past intertwine with an uncertain future. A long-time village resident, a boy on the precipice of adolescence, his carefree younger sister, and their father, the leader of the village, each come to understand what home means in their own way.
