This experimental abstract animation, “I Call It Home,” demonstrates two distinct worlds for a migrant who is born and lives far from her real home. One world is where she was born. It is like somewhere humans live before birth, the womb. This is growing and the spirit is blown into it. The spirit of the human is floating like a fish in the water. For her, the first world is selected as a home to settle down. But slowly she understands the real home is somewhere else. This is another world out of her mother's womb, a strange and frightening place. All things are dark and against her. So she has to struggle to overcome them. It takes time but finally she feels tranquility and starts to live in a new world like a newborn baby.
