After a near-death experience due to an aneurisma, director George Sluizer felt he had to go on filming and started research for a project he had in mind for a long time. It became the documentary HOMELAND, the fourth of a series about two Palestinian families he followed since 1974 in "Land of the Fathers", "A Reason to go" and "Adios Beirut". HOMELAND is also a personal film about his motivation, his relationship with the members of the two families who became very close. They are now scattered around the world, unable to return to the homeland. It is also an historical saga about the Palestinian people and their struggle for land and dignity.

Como consecuencia de un cataclismo que ningún sismógrafo ha podido registrar, se abre una brecha entre la frontera de España y Francia y la Península Ibérica va flotando a la deriva en el Océano Atlántico. Ahora es una verdadera balsa de piedra. El impacto en la escena geopolítica es inmenso cuando los poderes Norteamericanos ven la posibilidad de adquirir la nueva extensión de tierra con sus pobladores que se ha desprendido de Europa. Solo el Peñón de Gibraltar permanece en su lugar. Los españoles y portugueses sacados abruptamente de su rutina diaria, abandonan sus casas para escapar de los amenazadores peligros de la costa y van incesantemente vagabundeando por los caminos del interior. Y todavía se desorientan mas cuando la balsa empieza a girar sobre su eje de tal modo que el sol amanece por lo que era el Oeste. (FILMAFFINITY)

Intrepid men, set off for the Banks on schooners under full sail, then adrift in a flat-bottomed dory, they bait the hundred of hooks of their long-line, oblivious to fog, rain and Arctic wind, they labour 18 hours a day and haul up cod by the score.

The polder, main feature of the Dutch landscape, has a disconcerting effect on the traveller who comes across it. In the film a young man begins to explore this world and finds himself steeped in silence and in the vastness of space. He has a feeling of serenity which he naively endeavours to capture. But the climate of Holland always seeks revenge. Serenity gradually gives way to despair against the backdrop of the bare landscape with no shelter to offer. The very same reasons which explain the polder’s charm now become responsible for a hostile attitude : the vastness becomes oppressive, paradise becomes a hell.
