A refugee attempts to rebuild his life by hanging picture frames—images of his past, his family, and treasured memories. Each frame represents a moment he refuses to forget. But no matter how many times he tries, the frames won’t stay up. The space around him seems unwilling to hold them, resisting any sense of permanence. Still, he does not give up. Driven by love and memory, he searches for another way to preserve what he holds dear. In the silence of his struggle, he discovers that strength isn't always loud—it often lies in quiet persistence and creative hope. A Home Without Wall Frame is a poetic animated film about memory, loss, and the power of resilience. The story invites viewers to reflect on what it means to find hope in impermanence and how even the most fragile spaces can become powerful grounds for healing, love, and remembrance.
