About
People coming and going, time intersecting. And the film goes out of the house!
The story centres on Ako and San, two women who live in the same house, and who live in, visit and leave the house. This omnibus effectively uses the stage of the house to challenge various approaches to the expression of time and space. Interesting the minor misalignments between people that unfold in the house!
