Synopsis

Anna is a young woman who lives in her car traveling from city to city taking polaroid photos of houses that are for sale and writing down, in great detail, a description of their facades in a notebook. Amanda, an older woman, sells prefabricated houses and devotes her free time to recording every day of her life in a diary she has written since childhood. Both women share the same obsession; preserve memory and the recording of reality as a remedy to deal with their unfulfilled lives.
