Set in the 1990s, NOBODY’S HOME tells the story of Theodora and Luca, two people who suffer from extreme psychological disorders. NOBODY’S HOME begins after Luca is set to be released from the psychiatric hospital where he and Theodora have been living for several years. The film opens with Theodora having just escaped with Luca upon his release. They head down south.Theodora’s goal is to make sure Luca is re-traumatized upon his release– so he remains under her control. On the way, Theodora decides to bring Luca to his childhood home, where we later find out is where he witnessed his father murder his mother. The root of his trauma. When they arrive at the house and Luca is still asleep, a dead body is found in one of the bedrooms. Theodora pins the murder on him, claiming he did it in his sleep. But there is a time lapse, and it is unclear whether Luca, Theodora, or somebody else actually committed the murder. The truth remains a mystery, up until the final moments of the film. A surprise knock on the door suddenly shifts their plans. Angelica and Jeremy show up at the house, high on acid. Theodora invites them in. It’s all a game to her, and a way to test Luca’s loyalty. Gradually, her jealousy and obsession with power escalates things to the point of danger for everyone. As the audience compares the two couples, the deeper inner workings of toxic relationships become increasingly evident — spiraling into a confusing night of games and manipulation rooted in lies, insecurity, and fear. Nothing is quite what it seems.
