Synopsis

The film problematizes the space of the living room and the events that may have occurred there. These possible events, based on memory or on suppositions, have been recreated through sound – documentary footage, studio recordings and background noise – and they occur in real space and more or less realistic copies of a certain living room. Just like the rest of the apartment, the living room is only a room; regulated by architectural measurements and societal norms, according to its purpose. It is a space that is at the same time exposed to the eye of the public (the guests), a place of representation within a private space, and increasingly, a disused space because it requires the free time of its occupants. The film’s protagonists are established through dialogues with different sources: Architects’ Data (E. Neufert),Narratology (M. Bal), Garden, Ashes (D. Kiš) andThe House Book (T. Conran).
