Student academy award 2022 finalist
The shy Hugo is a caretaker in an old prefabricated building. It’s where he feels at home, is appreciated by the residents and sings his songs in the corridors. As dramatic changes make the house feel more and more cold, Hugo grows uncomfortable in his home. Similarly distraught is Johanna, who lives in a bus parked out front and faces racism and sexism on a daily basis. The two grow closer – sharing a sense of not quite belonging and, above all, a love of music.
