Gena, the mother of two boys, constantly unemployed and half-crazy, is judged an unfit mother by her own family, and has her baby son adopted by her university professor brother, to be brought up together with his own only-daughter. A tale of cause and effect, inspired by true events, Homeland narrates, through continuous flashbacks, the chain of decisions that propels an incestuous and violent love story.
