Childhood friends Lucas and Bert escape the narrow confines of their families and embark on a series of adventures which will eventually lead to disaster.

synopsis

Sixteen-year-old Lucas, a high-school kid, and Bert, an 18-year-old mechanic's apprentice, are childhood friends. Together, they run away from their closed family circles. Lucas finds in Bert some kind of a 'big brother', a guide who will lead him to the verge of disaster. Soon, the meaning of their trip becomes unclear. Return to the fold? Keep on going? The logic of their drifting urges them to go further and further...
Welcome home est un récit d’initiation. C’est l’histoire de deux amis d’enfance : Lucas, un lycéen de 16 ans, et Bert - un apprenti mécanicien de 18 ans - qui fuient le bocal familial, un éteignoir. Lucas, encore immature, va trouver en Bert un « grand frère », un guide… qui va le mener au bord de la catastrophe. Leur fugue va les conduire dans des maisons abandonnées par leurs locataires partis en vacances. Mais très vite, l’ennui refait surface et le sens de leur voyage leur échappe. Rentrer au bercail ? Continuer ? La logique de leur dérive les pousse à aller toujours plus loin. C’est la fuite en avant…
Lucas, een 16-jarige scholier, en Bert, een 18-jarige leerjongen, lopen samen weg van huis. Al gauw echter herinneren ze zich niet langer de reden voor hun vlucht en neemt de verveling weer de bovenhand. Wanneer het noodlot toeslaat, zijn de gevolgen onafwendbaar. De jongens reageren elk op hun manier. Vrijheid heeft een prijs, en in het geval van Lucas en Bert, een hoge prijs…
