Dealing with strangers is a consistent feature of our lives. Some people try to avoid interacting with new people whereas there are those who relish the chance of meeting someone new. Home Sleep Home looks at how strangers interact, focusing on two Czechs who are travelling abroad. The pair are strangers to one another. The film documents the conversation these compatriots have when their paths cross on holiday. This chance meeting sees the two discuss current concerns about societal polarisation, racism, nationalism, and the rise of right-wing popularism. These issues are not only confined to Central Europe, but have global relevance and greater poignancy, particularly when talked over by strangers.
