The short film reminds me of Up, the movie by Pixar. An elderly man, alone in a home he built himself being pushed to change, but the two aren't exact...Le Maison is better.
Let me start out by saying that I am not a big fan of movies without dialogue, or even cartoons actually. But, the short film grew on me so much that I did grow to love and sympathize with the old man. I mean, he's a normal old guy. Alone in his little house, that he built with his bare hands, and from the picture frames on his wall you know he wasn't always alone. A reality of life. His loneliness is the same loneliness that affects everyone. A malicious disease attacking the memory, and developing into some autoimmune disease that uses your own special, happy memories to make you nostalgic. The old man feels the nostalgia, but he overcomes it by taking the memory of his past (in the form of his wife's glass) and enjoys his last moments, hours, possibly years with the memories and his wife.
