"The way home" is a reflection film about a human life lost in a series of monotonous everyday life. The character has only one way to hear themselves in this nonsense. Perhaps it is from this step that a human being is commencing, and life becomes meaningful.

Director’s statement
I believe that the most important thing is to live your life. You don't need to expect anything from the world around you, but to do what you think is right. Don't shift the responsibility on traditions, the boss, the system, parents, etc... Take courage for your actions, for good and bad, and that is the moment when personal experience and repentance come, so your life is well-spent. I think, this problem is relevant at all times.
