During the Homeland War (1991-1995) Croatia was devastated with estimates ranging from 20-25% of its economy destroyed. Tens of thousands were killed and many more were left homeless. Through the voices of common people, Homecoming tells a story about the raise of a small, invisible Balkan country with enormous natural and human beauty from the ashes of terror; the country which still bears the scars, both physical and psychological, of the conflict during the War of Independence. It reflects upon a part of history that, although can never be changed, has molded and influenced a generation in a positive way.
