THE SQUATTERS OF THE DEVIL’S HOUSE is the polyphonic portrait of Fercho, Devil and Hippie, the accidental owners of a noman’s land. It is, perhaps, the only place in the world they can call their own. The ruins shelter their shattered days, allowing them to overcome time and become a little family. Their lives and selves are revealed through the vestiges of their lives before, and the pieces of the crumbling house around them, that ultimately form the core of their being.
