An estate agent opens the door to her own home and tells us about her passion: houses! Even as a child, she spent all her time on the computer game „The Sims“, but instead of living the life of a nuclear family, she built house after house, neighbourhood after neighbourhood. Now she is an unmarried woman with no desire to have children and lives alone in her own family home.
Instead of criticising the heteronormative nuclear family, a heteronormative relationship
develops between the house and the estate agent: the house becomes a housewife while the estate agent spends her working day getting to know new flats via property apps, matching clients with their dream homes and demolishing badly behaving houses to build new, less complicated apartment buildings in their place.
