I don't understand. I have a hundred questions. So many parts go nowhere. So many random things happen that lead to nothing. The explanation is ridiculously convoluted and opens up even more questions. I suspect it's just a bunch of madness and they hope the audience doesn't think too hard.
The disappointing part is this is a generally well-made movie from a technical perspective, with a beautiful musical score and lots of intrigue set up. It could have been a great movie if it made any sense. I even tried to find an explanation video or article but it seems that no one watched this movie (only 300 ratings and 3 reviews on IMDb, I am the 4th). (1 viewing, 2/23/2022)

The most confused I've ever been
A movie that takes itself too seriously
You know a movie that has an eerie soundtrack played almost the entire screen time to give certain vibe, but in the end it's just felt flat?! This was that kind of movie. Actually the premise of this movie was quite promosing but poorly executed. I think it maybe would have a different result with a different director, that knows how to present a mystery movie without trying to force it too much.
Home Sweet Home followed a house of four family members, each with their secrets. Another member of the family was a fugitive who lived in the basement of the house under the protection of the head of the family. The stories unfolded layer by layer, overlapped each others, so pay really close attention to the last 20 minutes, in order to avoid confusion. The final verdict of this movie is at the hand of the audience, whether they think the protagonist did the right thing or not.
China's version of Parasite?
Anyone else notice similarities vs Parasite? The lighting, the house, basement and take on social inequality.
