No Home Movie is a sober, profoundly moving portrait of the filmmakers mother Natalia in the months leading up to her death, when she was mostly confined to her Brussels apartment. A Polish Jew who survived Auschwitz, Natalia suffered from chronic anxiety all her life, an affliction that fuelled much of her daughters creative output and helped shape Akermans thematic preoccupations with gender, sex, cultural identity, existential ennui, solitude, and mania.
