Home of My Heart tells the story of Melody Chan, a young woman determined to preserve the home of her ancestors; a place on the brink of drastic changes. Melody’s journey takes her from Hong Kong to San Francisco and then back again to Hong Kong. The journey begins in Taishan; a small region in Guangdong Province known for the large number of immigrants to the United States during the 19th century. The film tells the story of one great-great-great-great-great-granddaughter’s path to finding her roots.
