In Hungarian cinema and literature, this phrase carries a deep, melancholic weight. During the Cold War, the idea of something feeling like home outside of Hungary was often ironic. It appeared in:

Olyan mint otthon (1978): Mészáros Márta Kultuszfilmje az Otthontalanságról

The narrative follows , a middle-aged intellectual who returns to Hungary after spending several years working and living in America. Rather than experiencing a joyful homecoming, András finds himself fundamentally alienated. The life he left behind has moved on: he has lost his career path, his marriage has dissolved, and his attempts to rekindle a romance with his former flame, Anna (played by French New Wave icon Anna Karina) , fall entirely flat.
