"The Burning House" sets in motion an fascinating debate between the practical, the valuable, and the sentimental. With a simple question at its heart - what would you save from your burning home? - you're forced to prioritize and edit down a lifetime of possessions into what you can carry with you. What you would bring reflects your interests, background, and priorities. Think of it as a full interview condensed into one question. It features a meditation on materialism and what's truly important. It features an incisive window into the heart of a person.
