House Clearance

BACK

Two sisters, and the husband of one of them, have gathered to clear out the belongings of the sisters’ recently deceased mother. They have a history of antagonism and misunderstanding.


While there, they re-visit their disagreement about how the mother, Ruby, should have been taken care of in her declining years.


The husband responds to the tensions by getting drunk, which further enrages his wife. An ornament of sentimental value is knocked over and broken, and the resulting emotions shift everyone’s perceptions.


One scene was filmed outside, presenting a new director with the challenges of sound quality and managing the activity in the public space.
