At the Guesthouse

On a recent trip to Tokyo and lured by the promise of an exceptional view of Mt. Fuji, the filmmaker finds herself staying overnight in a villa overlooking Sagami Bay. But her hope of seeing the mountain is interrupted by a storm that’s building up, confining her indoors. The involuntary solitude prompts her to delve into the villa＇s storied past. The grip of history on individual identity intertwines with the spaces, supplanting the tales we merely visit with those we intimately host.
