"Now this will have to be your city too, you who can’t go home. I ask, how can this be my home if I always get lost?"

A man who finds it difficult to stay in one place for too long. He has moved 16 times over the past seven years, and he is moving now. As he packs his things, he observes his neighbors through the window, filming them so that he won’t forget them. The film thus consists of footage of windows in which people are moving, with the voiceover of a hidden observer.
