Hausu 2020: Locked Down with My Friends in My Parents’ Empty House During the First Wave of COVID-19

About This Movie

Hausu 2020 is this really interesting documentary that captures the odd mix of solace and chaos during the first UK lockdown. It's not flashy, but it’s got a rawness that feels authentic—like peeking into someone's diary. The pacing flows like a reflective conversation between friends, all while they navigate their way through shared media experiences. The film has this almost dreamy quality, juxtaposing the constraints of lockdown with moments of connection and creativity. The performances are natural, unpolished, which adds to its charm. It’s distinctive in how it embraces the mundane and the extraordinary of those early pandemic days, making you think about how we cope when the world outside shifts dramatically.
