Our House is a short film about Anahita, an Iranian refugee in Toronto, who runs into the man who brutally murdered her parents at their home in Tehran years ago. The back story embodies Anahita’s attempts in the past to convince the authorities to reject this man’s application for immigration. This man had nonetheless been admitted to Canada, and obtained Canadian Citizenship. The back story also encompasses Anahita’s best efforts over the years to put the past behind her and to build a new life for herself with her Canadian husband and daughter. The encounter, however, renews Anahita’s tragedy and re-awakens her grief. Failed by the system, she decides to take justice into her own hands.
