Three men—from China, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Palestine—live together in a squatted apartment in a seemingly abandoned building in Paris. The group is bound together by their shared experience of life in exile and the fleeting nature of their possessions, relationships, and sense of home, but the temporary safe space is threatened by outside forces and events.

The footage captures the artist’s journey and her visit back to her home country, China. Shot with a 16mm camera, the film raises questions towards her sense of belonging and definition of home.
