Home (2015)
Earth just got a little stranger.
When Earth is taken over by the overly-confident Boov, an alien race in search of a new place to call home, all humans are promptly relocated, while all Boov get busy reorganizing the planet. But when one resourceful girl, Tip, manages to avoid capture, she finds herself the accidental accomplice of a banished Boov named Oh. The two fugitives realize there’s a lot more at stake than intergalactic relations as they embark on the road trip of a lifetime.
In Home, consciousness is carried by aliens — a plane of “alien colonization”. The story fights on E9/E10 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing prejudice, immigration, integration, propaganda, colonization.
