After her husband's death, Frida ignores her grief by taking care of Lou, her estranged grand-daughter; and Tom, a neighbour boy. With great tenderness, together they overcome the difficulties of day-to-day life. Trough directly expressed humour, comical situations and vivid colors, Hemma/Home shows an alternative way of dealing with loss, social conventions and love.
