But instead of the comfort she so desperately needs, she is met with her mother's cold anger. In her search for solace, Vicki turns to her stepsister Louise and her stepfather Goran. What initially seems like warmth and care from Goran soon takes an unsettling turn. His behavior grows increasingly intrusive, and behind his friendly facade lurks a darker intent that will soon come to light, tearing the family apart. ''Borta bra hemma bäst" is an intense and dark short film that delves into themes of power, vulnerability, and the devastating silence that so often surrounds violence and abuse behind closed doors. Through a gripping portrayal of how both emotional and physical violence can shape a young person's life, the story confronts us with uncomfortable questions about responsibility, protection, and and society's tendency to turn a blind eye to the tragedies hidden within the home.
