"What do you think is happening here?"
A wannabe Instagram influencer in a bathroom giving a tarot reading, an actor in a front hallway looking for a way out, a granddaughter stuck in place by a relative’s last words, and a mother in an attic realizing she’s been a bad actor in her own life. Unfolding and intertwining in unexpected ways, Year of the Rat follows these four stories as their relationships with their homes, and with themselves, is forever changed by an ongoing global confinement.
