Permanent Resident

Directed by Nicole Midori Woodford

A middle-aged woman, her son and mother reside in a flat near a quarry bearing the name of Little Guilin, modelled after a famous landmark in China. She pretends that she is a prospective buyer who arranges to view several condominiums, claiming a token or borrowing a moment from each family that resides in them. Glimpsing the man-made quarry through different windows, her obsession culminates when she finally decides to take an excursion of sorts to visit it.
