This thesis explores the home as a foreign place in the three films The Foster Boy (Der Verdingbub, Markus Imboden, 2011), Undine (Undine, Christian Petzold, 2020) and Synonyms (Synonymes, Nadav Lapid, 2019). The theoretical framework draws on the concepts of Heimat and home as well as on aspects of diaspora, exile and nomadism, which are combined in a conceptualisation to which I refer to as ‘the foreign home’. Relevant literary sources are Hamid Naficy, David Morley, Peter Blickle and others. The film analysis discusses how the foreign home is narrated and expressed on the narrative itself as well as on the stylistic and aesthetic level. The discussion of the foreign home occurs in reference to an underlying storytelling structure in which the home and the non-home become one place, the foreign home. The underlying storytelling structure entails five different sections that reveal the foreign home and its gradual development. These sections are: leaving home and moving on, the space and the objects of the new home, modes of displacement, adjustment to the new home, and hostility and opposition in the new home. The analysis is conducted based on these sections. This research contributes to the study of home in film and focuses especially on the opposite relationship of the home as a foreign place in film.
