A Casa (1997)
Directed by Sharunas Bartas

Drama
aka: The House

Film Synopsis

A house is the object of a film director's fascination.  The house could be anywhere in the world, and it could look like anything - these things do not matter.  What matters is what the house represents - a place of sanctuary, somewhere that you can call 'home'.  It is a place where several people may live.  Some of them may be just passing through, others may stay for a much longer period.  It is a house that smiles on anyone who walks through its door, a place where everyone is welcome...
