A decolonial melodrama

A political mockumentary that never talks about politics. The film follows Rose, a "professional dog walker" who has recently occupied a vacant house which now she calls home: the realization of a dream. While claiming to take care of the property until the return of the landlady, the new "tenant" creates intimacy with the house develops a fascination for the absent woman.
