A Place We Call Home

Here, in the old wooden house in the centre of the city, daily life is quite similar to what you would see in any children‘s home – eating, playing, fighting and learning important lessons. But this is no ordinary orphanage. ‘A Place We Call Home’ is a poetical essay on the nature of the human being from an unusual perspective.
