In 2014, after living in the same house for ten years, suddenly the landlord sold it, and overnight they were evicted, scattering the family members without a place to return, leaving her wondering where home truly lies. In 2019, her younger brother bought a pre-sale house, and she, carrying her camera, joined her brother and father in joy to visit the newly decorated house. However, would this be their home? Through a personal documentary format, starting from the unease of long-term renting, traversing through different forms of homes, pondering on the essence of what home truly is.

透過一家人曾經流離失所的經驗,談論空間與人之間的記憶和情感,題材少見,敘事流暢,最後一段姊弟的對話相當精彩,流露出導演真摯的情感。

When I try to recreate the meaning of those past residences as "home," I not only revisit them but also recall a script I wrote years ago in a screenwriting class, depicting the night I lost my home. I wonder if a script written from memory, without images or sounds, which records only personal memories and feelings, could also serve as another form of a family archive. So, I integrated this idea into tangible family imagery, hoping that through the interwoven and collaged materials, viewers might also be prompted to return to their own memories of their homes and feel something about their own "home."
Thanks to everyone who contributed to completing this film.
