Part of a five-part series, BLOCKHOUSE is a story of loneliness and solitude in the modern world as expressed through dance. In the context of the extremely high suicide rate in Japan, often attributed to loneliness, this film follows a dancer who chooses to break the chains of her self-imposed solitude and, in a celebration of life, fulfil her dream of dancing in the street.
