Homeland is a small village that everyone wants to leave, but from which almost no one manages to escape. Homeland is a town like any other: the mayor, the priest, the schoolteacher, the bar, the school, and the cemetery. But it is also a town of mysteries, injustices, and blood: the town of Cain and Abel. A tragicomic tale that recounts the history of Italy from the postwar period to the present day, seen through the eyes of two brothers who have mysteriously crossed paths with the bloodiest terrorist events in Italian history. A family biography that becomes the biography of a nation.
