Don't call them ghosts! When Alice and her family move next door to an abandoned haunted house, she does what you'd expect - renovate and restore. International House of Dereliction connects the past with the present, centers friendship and family, and asks important questions about what it means to be a home. As someone who moved a lot as a kid, I connected with Alice's journey to make or find a home.
