Home to Many

After moving to a new city, a family of mice leads Gamander López to spend more and more time in a park nearby. This way Gamander also encounters other inhabitants like red squirrels, mallards, geese, mute swans and rose-ringed parakeets. In order to capture truly authentic animal behaviour, Gamander let nature write the script for the film, visiting the city park daily for several years. That’s how he succeeded in getting some never before filmed animal interactions. Gamander wanted to create a feeling for the audience as close as possible to what he experienced when observing and capturing the often-surprising stories unfolding on location. In a very personal way, “Home to Many” shows that you can experience the most incredible things in nature right where you live, even in an ordinary place like a city park.
