Willa has acquired U.S. distribution rights to “Take Me Home,” the debut feature from writer-director Liz Sargent.

“Take Me Home” premiered in the U.S. Dramatic Competition at the Sundance Film Festival and made its international premiere at the Berlinale in the Perspectives competition section this year.

In “Take Me Home,” 38-year-old Korean adoptee Anna cares for her aging parents in a fragile balance of meeting each others’ needs. When a Florida heat wave shatters their family and Anna’s routine, her future is uncertain until she creates a world in which she can thrive. Sargent’s debut drama examines the shifting demands placed on a unique — and uniquely challenged — family in a Florida suburb.
