The House is Gloomy
Upon returning to the motherland, a filmmaker tries to reconnect with the place where he once belonged. As he reflects on the transformations, he struggles to understand the drastic difference between what he left and the reality today.
For a man returning home after two years abroad, readjusting to his former life seems more difficult than he imagined. Was two years too long or not long enough? Can he recapture a sense of belonging or will he always feel out of place?
In this visual essay, the audience follows the protagonist along his journey, as he re-examines and reflects on the values that surround him and the society he belongs to –values that seem to be progressively rotting and decaying.
