The film follows an architecture graduate as she reflects on the meaning of home and the labor of making home. Architecture is framed beyond the physical built object: as a second skin that stretches and reconfigures itself as she, too, stretches to be in a new place. The film moves through themes of migration, womanhood, and what it means to be an architect without building, still making architecture constantly, just through different forms.

Why it matters

A meditative body horror that redefines architecture as the mutable flesh we inhabit, where migration and identity twist into unsettling new forms.

Subverts haunted house tropes by turning the body itself into an unstable dwelling — a fresh angle on domestic terror.
Anchored by a quietly powerful lead performance that conveys displacement without exposition.
Blends psychological dread with tactile practical effects to evoke constant bodily transformation.
For fans of slow-burn feminist horror exploring how home is as much emotional labor as physical space.
