Fallen Houses

About This Movie

Fallen Houses is an intriguing blend of animation and documentary that captures the essence of displacement through a personal lens. Set against the devastating backdrop of the 1980 Irpinia earthquake, it weaves a narrative that feels both intimate and expansive. The father-son dynamic adds a profound emotional weight, grounding the universal theme of migration in a familial experience. The animation style is striking, almost surreal at times, which contrasts with the stark realities of the story. It's slow-paced at moments, allowing the viewer to absorb the gravity of leaving one's home. The voice acting is authentic, lending a rawness that resonates long after the credits roll. It’s a film that lingers, inviting reflection on what we call home.
