Synopsis - A young man, Arne, returns home to the Pacific NorthWest, America, from the Iraq war and realises that he has nothing to come home to. The film explores the idea of ‘what is home’ , through focusing on the relationships between Arne and his father, and a young lost woman he meets on the plane home.
In Elize’s words - “I play Sylvie – the airhostess Arne meets on the plane on his way back from Iraq. I survive in the bubble of the aircraft well – because it is a controlled environment, but cannot deal with real life. When I get ill, I get grounded and have to face up to reality. And Arne helps me do this …. Filmed in and around Seattle in 2006 – still in the edit. (had to dye my hair black for this part!)”
