ABOUT
A Home Away follows five Danish exchange students as they take the brave step of venturing out into the world on their own, leaving behind the familiar, the safe and everything Danish.
We follow their encounters with new cultures and languages, the quiet evenings filled with homesickness, and the exhilarating days of new friendships and freedom. But just as important as the physical journey is the inner one: Who do you become when no one knows you?
And what do you bring home when the year is over – beyond the souvenirs?
Through deeply personal stories, the series explores that unique period in life when childhood begins to fade and adulthood takes its first steps.
