Way Home

How far would you go for your own child? Way Home (Vejen hjem, 2024), a Danish drama-thriller you can watch online on iFILM, hands that question to a father with nothing left to lose. Charlotte Sieling directs; Nikolaj Lie Kaas carries it.

Christian is smuggled into war-torn Syria after learning his son Adam has joined ISIS. The plan is simple to say and almost impossible to do: bring the boy home. Every checkpoint, every bribe, every lie pulls Christian deeper into a country that grants no mercy. Sieling films the journey as a slow moral unraveling — to save Adam, the father may have to betray everything he stands for. This is bleak, grown-up European cinema for viewers who don't need a happy ending. Stream Way Home (2024) online on iFILM.
