Domestication | Official Selection @ Nosakhari Film Festival 2024

A woman undertakes everyday rituals around the city of London.

“Domestication” examines conditioned domestic routines and the absurdity of human behavior by exploring activities performed outside their usual surroundings. By bringing mundane private behavior into public spaces, the film highlights how absurd human actions can appear when taken out of context.

The accepting nature of our society allows these acts to be performed, prompting the question: What acts, and in which contexts, would take things too far?
