How would it be to carry your house in your pocket or live within your clothes? For most of us, ‘house’ means stability. But in a time of huge population growth, the dream of a portable habitat could become a reality. This film shows how architects and artists find answers to their portable dreams. Modern nomads, street dwellers, stressed people, or those in need of privacy, tell the reasons behind their homes and show how they work. A film that deals with contemporary ideas, addressed and resolved in surprising ways.
