Returning Home

A young English couple finds themselves far from the familiar comforts of their native island, settled in the modest, high‑altitude town of San José, Costa Rica. Surrounded by coffee plantations and a quiet tropical climate, they wrestle with the monotony of expatriate life, where work occupies the days and the thought of home haunts their evenings. Their conversations turn often to the imagined warmth of a hearth, the chatter of familiar neighbours, and the promise of a future return.

When a sudden turn of events presents an opportunity to leave, the pair resolve to act quickly, driven by the yearning that has grown louder with each passing month abroad. Their plan to embark on the journey home sets the stage for a poignant exploration of what “home” truly means to those who have lived away from it for so long. As they prepare, the story captures the bittersweet mix of anticipation, doubt, and hope that accompanies any long‑awaited homecoming.
