An image of a woman, her brain revealed, is a leitmotif.  It suggests that the mind/body split so characteristic of Western thought is particularly troubling for women, who may feel themselves moving between the territories of the film’s title – house, science, and museum, or private, public and idealized space – without wholly inhabiting any of them. 
This film explores society’s representation and conceptualization of women through home movies, personal reminiscences, staged scenes, found footage and voice.
