Way Home
How far are you willing to go to save the people you love? This is the question Christian (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) is forced to answer when he is smuggled into Syria in a desperate search for his son Adam. We follow him along a deadly and soul-searching journey into a brutal, war-torn country. Gradually, Christian realise that he must be willing to sacrifice everything he believes in to be reunited with his son. Way Home is a powerful and gripping drama about powerlessness, forgiveness and the love for our children.
Way Home is produced by Toolbox films and co-produced by Hummelfilm. International sales are handled by LevelK. The film has recieved production support from the Danish Film Institute.
