House of the Wind

2026 · 102 min

A quiet, tender character study that lingers on loneliness and unexpected connection, moving slowly and asking for patient attention.

Overview
Josette (80) lives alone in Yaoundé, Cameroon. All her children have left for the West. She encourages them to build houses in Cameroon, a ploy to bring them back to her. But the unexpected bond she forms with Sarah, a young woman from her neighborhood, shatters everything she has built her life on: her family, her responsibilities, and her hopes.
