A 72 year old man returns to his beach house to try to understand why the sound of the ocean has pursued him for years. The camera follows the man as he walks through the house, showing us his angsts and frustrations. The house is both the setting and a character. The space transcends its materiality and architectural forms, inviting the protagonist to a dreamlike world - represented by his recollection of a pleasant and bright Sunday with family and the sound of a seashell, a recurring symptom. The man faces the consequences of his choices, like his tendency to work to the detriment of his family and friendships, or for placing his hopes in the project instead of in the actual use of the space. The house, itself a metaphor for the seashell, is a symptom and a mechanism for confrontation. It is a refuge transformed into an agony, for it is never quite finished. It is an object of adoration that, in its materiality and lack of ornament, calls attention to phantoms and illusions. The space exudes alienation and disjointedness as the protagonist deals with his own frustrations in life and in his home. By the medium of psychological drama, the film surfaces a reflection on the contradictions of modern architecture and the use of space.
