Director Statement

In a floor knows everything, we turn our gaze to the floor of a confined
domestic space, tracing the wife’s footsteps as a guiding thread, using tiny
specks of dust and stains as a magnifying glass to feel the texture of daily
trivialities, and sketching out the body, emotions, and creativity of a housewife that are obscured in the midst of housework.
