Khaneh Ma: These Places We Call Home examines the question of
what defines home by presenting the lives of three generations of
Iranians living in Iran, Canada, and Germany.

The film begins with the director’s return to Iran, her country
of cultural origin, where she becomes reacquainted with family
she has not seen in over ten years and rediscovers a culture
that has remained a quiet yet ever-present part of her life in Canada.

As the journey unfolds, we uncover rarely seen aspects of Iranian
culture as experienced by the director, while witnessing
firsthand the process of leaving an old culture behind and the
journey into a new one.
