Home (2012)

Toni Morrison, America's most acclaimed novelist, and Nobel Prize laureate, deepens her profound take on our history with her twentieth-century drama of redemption: a tense and painful story of one man's desperate quest for himself in a war-torn globe. Frank Money is a vengeful, self-loathing Korean War veteran who, after harrowing experiences on the front lines, returns to racist America with more than just physical wounds.

His home may appear foreign to him, but the desire to rescue his medically tortured younger sister and return her to the little Georgia town he's detested his whole life shakes him out of his crushing lethargy. As Frank revisits his childhood and war experiences that have left him questioning his sense of self, he discovers tremendous courage he thought he'd never have again. A very affecting tale about a seemingly defeated man rediscovering his masculinity - and his home.
