In A Taste of Home filmmaker David Yun attempts to reconcile the feelings of alienation he experienced while growing up in a suburban Detroit town with the emotions felt after returning home to care for his terminally ill mother. Combining landscape cinematography with a highly personal voiceover, A Taste of Home documents the filmmaker's changing relationship with his hometown under these new sets of circumstances while relating to larger questions of identity and our always changing relationships to our familial and communal histories.
