How far are you willing to go to save the people you love? This is the question Christian (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) is forced to answer when he is smuggled into Syria in a desperate search for his son Adam. It's a deadly and soul-searching journey into a brutal, war-torn country. Gradually, Christian realises that he must be willing to sacrifice everything he believes in to be reunited with his son. Way Home is a powerful and gripping drama about powerlessness, forgiveness and the love for our children.
