Isolated in her vacant apartment complex, Marlene is the widow of a nazi officer. Plagued by the conjurings of her late husband, and equally by her besotted nazi brother in law, Marlene discovers a Belarusian prisoner of war hiding in the apartment above. As tensions rise between the two, Marlene must confront the ghosts of her past as well as the stranger's own.
Living Space is an intimate, unforgiving contemplation on complicity, survival and the scars of empire on Eastern Europe.
