Mona has spent years treating her tiny apartment and deteriorating building as a stopgap while keeping her neighbours at a distance. When financial pressure leads her to accept free rent in return for helping around the property, anonymity is no longer possible. Everyday repairs and resident disputes bring her into contact with the strange, frustrating and unexpectedly caring people living around her. As the building’s problems threaten the fragile community, Mona begins to question her determination to leave. Her practical arrangement becomes a funny, heartfelt journey toward belonging, found family and the possibility that home is created by people rather than perfect circumstances.
