Helen and Dalina, two Eritrean girls with the same mother tongue, find comfort with each other as they share joys and sorrows: stories about the past and the future, thoughts about religion, songs and their everyday insecurities.
Helen tries to remain positive in her attempt at family reunification, but wonders what would happen if her family, whom she has not seen for six years, were to arrive in Belgium. Her own personality has developed a lot over these years. As the young people try to find their place in a new country, How Do You Spell Home? follows them in their search for a new home.
How Do You Spell Home? is the first feature-length documentary by Belgian director Louisiana Mees-Fongang.
