Our House (Shin-Dejima Festival)

Fourteen-year-old Seri lives with her mother in an old house in a seaside town. Elsewhere, Sana, a woman who has lost her memory, accepts a place to stay from Toko, whom she meets on a ferry. It is the very same house. Unaware of one another, the two pairs go about their daily lives. Gradually, sounds and fleeting sensations begin to unsettle the boundaries between their worlds. Made as Yui Kiyohara’s graduation project at Tokyo University of the Arts, this debut feature brings two stories together under one roof, finding quiet unease within familiar domestic spaces. Winner of the Grand Prix at the 2017 Pia Film Festival and selected for the Forum section of the 2018 Berlin International Film Festival.
