On a windswept hill, in a place still young and devoid of all life, an ancestral house builds itself. The house comes to life and unveils its long life of one hundred and fifty years. Brick by brick and beam by beam, each action, big or small, shows life.

The house evolves quietly in the heart of a growing and buzzing city that will eventually bring its end.
