Home is The Ocean

Dir. Livia Vonaesch | 2024 | 94 mins | German with English Subtitles

For a Swiss family of eight, life unfolds at sea. For over 20 years, the Schwörers have sailed the globe, raising six children onboard while dedicating their lives to raise awareness about climate change, conduct field-based research in the world’s most remote regions and inspire young people to protect the planet. 

Filmed over seven years, HOME IS THE OCEAN is a warm and intimate portrait of a family redefining ideas of home, learning and togetherness; an unconventional family life shaped by purpose, resilience and nature. But when a violent storm strikes, they must reconsider the choices that have shaped their world.

Shown as part of the UK Green Film Festival, find out more about them here.
