A shocking vision of a generational conflict between feral youth and seemingly genial pensioners, Homemade has the elderly Tommy’s (Jim Norton) efforts to live a quiet life and strike up a relationship with new flame Joan (Deirdre Donnelly) upset by three lawless teenage girls stalking his neighbourhood streets. With Tommy convinced that only drastic measures can free him from his plight, the story builds to a startling conclusion that contrasts Tommy’s peaceful life with Joan with the danger he faces on the streets.
