On a summer night, a Brooklyn house party gathers couples and singles. Like any big party, it is an ideal setting for talking, laughing and flirting. Some guests know each other very well, some are meeting and some can hardly stand each other. Inside, a multitude of stories unfold, reflecting the complexity of human relationships.

When Bobby is invited by his ex-girlfriend to a party thrown by someone he doesn?t even know, he doesn?t plan to stay long. Watching this carnival of people making out, singing, fighting doesn?t change his mind about leaving but meeting the graceful host, Susan, certainly does. Susan is, however, still under the spell of her recent ex and is less than willing to jump into love again.

Add to the mix an ensemble of odd, eccentric and unpredictable characters, and the result is a truly unique experience directed by Matt Zoller Seitz, film critic for New York Press and TV critic for the Star-Ledger. Home reflects a passion for storytelling and a brilliant understanding of today?s singles. A romantic comedy that packs a lot of stories into just two floors.
