Synopsis
The feature-length documentary is an attempt to answer one of the most vital questions in all our lives: What is the meaning of home? The film focuses on family, identity, emigration (through the lens of Polish-Irish-South African-English ties), as well as the circle of life, death and rebirth. The axis of the film is a house which connects and shelters, and which allows the lives of the characters to be transformed. It's genesis and inspiration was a seven-year collection of films and photographs covering the lives of residents who lived and worked under the cover, protection and generosity of the house’s owner – a 90-year-old, bed-bound writer – Elizabeth – in Hampstead Garden Suburb, north London.
