Childhood ghosts don't always need sheets — sometimes they wear your father's face.
A brother is reunited with his sister in their old family home after years of separation. In the still of the night, images and sounds from their childhood come rushing back, reminding them of a father who, although often austere, did on occasion seem to enter into the spirit of things.
Direction
Meier builds dread from negative space and creaking stairs.
Sound
Every footstep echoes like a confession you can't take back.

Ursula Meier
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Meier's early short foreshadows her feature work exploring domestic spaces as psychological battlegrounds. The 34-minute runtime is deliberate — anything longer would dilute the claustrophobia.
The film's near-invisibility online (zero TMDB votes) makes it a genuine lost gem — most Meier retrospectives skip straight to 'Home' (2008).
