Domovina junakov

Slovenski opis filma:

Dan zatem, ko jim sporočijo dobro novico, da se lahko vrnejo domov, skupina ameriških vojakov v Iraku pade v zasedo. Doma v Ameriki spremljamo njihove zgodbe – kirurga, ki je videl preveč, učiteljico in mati samohranilko, ki je v zasedi izgubila roko, vojaka pehote, čigar najboljši prijatelj je v zasedi umrl, in borca, ki vedno znova podoživlja trenutek, ko je ustrelil civilistko. Vsak od njih se je domov vrnil spremenjen in očitno odtujen. Skupinska terapija, pomoč vojnim veteranom, oklevajoča podpora družine in prijateljev ter vsakdanje spominjanje preteklih dogodkov jim ne dopušča, da bi vojno pozabili.

Originalni opis filma:

The day after they get the word they'll go home in two weeks, a group of soldiers from Spokane are ambushed in an Iraqi city. Back stateside we follow four of them - a surgeon who saw too much, a teacher who's a single mom and who lost a hand in the ambush, an infantry man whose best friend died that day, and a soldier who keeps reliving the moment he killed a civilian woman. Each of the four has come home changed, each feels dislocation. Group therapy, V.A. services, halting gestures from family and colleagues, and regular flashbacks keep the war front and center in their minds. They're angry, touchy, and explosive: can a warrior find peace back home?
