No Place Like Home

Lost between two continents, Priyangika has always felt her adoption was wrong. She begins a quest to fill the missing pieces of her identification papers, her family history and her broken heart. 

Adopted from Sri Lanka to Norway at only seven weeks, she has always longed for her biological family. However, finding her mother did not bring her the peace of mind she was searching for. Instead, a need to uncover the secrets of her past and the adoption process, no matter how painful they are, becomes her only hope in succeeding to define herself on her own terms.

"This scrappy, rough-around-the-edges documentary from Norway is directed by two friends and began after one of them, Petter Aaberg, attempted to kill himself. It’s a fly-on-the-wall study of Aaberg and four other young Norwegians struggling with their mental health. It is raw and intense, and also troubling in places: Aaberg and Kvamme keep the camera rolling on these vulnerable people in moments of crisis, testing the limits of documentary ethics." - The Guardian
