English translation:get a glimpse of the lives [of ordinary people]
Explanation:
Though 'look into the homes' would be the correct literal translation, I think 'get a glimpse of the lives' more correctly conveys the intended meaning, including in an idiomatic sense. In this case 'dom' refers more to life and household than to 'house' or 'home' as a specific location or structure.
