Film-maker Duncan has just turned 30 years old, and despairs at the fact he still lives at home with his parents, questioning whether he would be happier if he had his own place.

Duncan sets out on a journey to meet other millennials living at home to see whether that will help him feel better and more relaxed about his situation. Meeting Gillian and Chris, a young engaged couple who both work full-time jobs and struggle to stay afloat, Duncan realises he is not alone in his financial situation. He examines some properties in the low-bracket price range, finding a garage with no running water for offers over £50k, and noticing how stylish the estate agent looks, causing him to question whether he has just chosen the wrong career.

Duncan begins to wonder why people who do have decent careers wouldn’t have moved out yet, and visits Shannon, a young pensions administrator who prefers to spend her hard-earned money on tattoos and holidays rather than mortgages. What’s more important? Having the money to live the lifestyle you want or having your own home to stay in?

Next, Duncan is introduced to Alistair, someone whose life was seemingly on track before unexpected kidney failure landed him back at home in Cumbernauld and fighting for his life. How does coming close to death change your perspective on living at home? Is Duncan overthinking his situation and ignoring all of the benefits of living at home with family?

Duncan then heads to Yorkshire to track down a woman named Stephanie, who resourcefully turned her parent’s garage into a house, thereby getting the best of both worlds. Is this the answer? Does Stephanie feel like she has actually left home, or does it feel like her own place?

After hearing all of these perspectives on living at home, Duncan attempts to see his own situation a little more positively - maybe a strict savings regime is all he really needs! Show less
