“If houses are time containers, then the time I have spent in this house, though passed, is not truly gone. This makes it easier to say goodbye and move into the next time period of my life – into a different home.”

In How Now, House? filmmaker Tess Martin investigates our yearning to leave traces behind through the prism of one house in Rotterdam. Using archives, personal memories and the philosophy of time, the film questions whether a space can ever really belong to one person, or time period, at all.
