5 HOUSES and the people who inhabit them. 5 different stories all part of the same. An old teacher struggling to keep her home and her 36 cats, a young man bullied and beaten up for being gay, a nun being expelled from the school she ran with an iron fist, an old farmhand in a haunted farm and a boy whose parents died when he was a child and is now the director making this film. He goes back to rediscover his childhood memories and the struggle of the people he left behind when he went away.
