2045 年，一名生活在火星上的男子，正在研究他在越南叢林中與一個原住民社區接觸時帶回的素材影像。 在實驗過程中，他的思緒從身分、美學、圖像製作的政治學，到葬禮儀式，再到形塑文化那可見和不可見的力量。《樹房子》融合了科幻小說和民族誌的元素，有力地探索了時間和環境與我們對家的理解之間的關係。

A man living on Mars in the Year 2045 examines footage brought back from his encounters with an indigenous community in the jungles of Vietnam. As he experiments, his thoughts drift from matters of identity, aesthetics, and the politics of imagemaking, to ritual burial practices, to the seen and unseen forces that shape cultures. Combining elements of science fiction and ethnography, The Tree House is a powerful exploration of how time and environment relate to our understanding of home.
