Anybody Home?

Description

Explore the themes of uncertainty, expectation and connection that are found in the gospel of Mark.

Poet Mike Hood tells the story of how his Grandfather would explore abandoned houses with his friends as a child. They would shout out, "Is anybody here? Is anybody home?"

This narrative is weaved throughout the film, which chops and changes between modern-day scenes and the boys. The poem asks: are we are really alone in this life? Are we the captains of our souls? Are we free - or are we lost?

At the end of the film, the boys are shocked to hear someone coming into the empty home. We see the expression on their faces change from frightened anticipation to smiles. We are given a taste of what it is like to be truly 'found.'
