A humorous personal essay film addressing architecture, habitation, space, density, gentrification and urban development. The film’s main arc spans the author’s diverse living environments, beginning with his childhood in a rich neighborhood to militant squats, shared flats, as well as his various dwellings in such metropolises as Tbilisi, São Paulo, Zurich and Mexico City. And the author ridicules both: the rightwing populists that fear a lack of space because of immigrants. And the left that has abandoned modernity.
