Anna spends a decade obsessively building a detailed 1/3-scale version of her friend Yo's house after losing her. It's just big enough for Anna to squeeze through the door, and inside lives a puppet of Yo.

Using intricately built miniature sets and other creations, the film juxtaposes intimate vérité of Yo’s last year with Anna’s wildly imaginative interpretations of her stories.

“In 2013, I lost one of my closest friends. Her name was Yo (Yolanda Shea). Yo was many things to many people: a great-grandmother, career weed dealer, intellectual, psychic, hostess, tyrant, a captivating storyteller. To me, she is an inspiration: a seer of truth and one of my best friends. I wasn’t ready to lose her. The film highlights the enduring power of friendship and what we learn from each other in life and through death.”

— Anna Fitch, Director
