Livet ude af balance. Godfrey Reggios ordløse hovedværk starter i Amerikas bjergkæder, der langsomt introduceres til den moderne vestlige civilisation. Menneskets indvirkning på Jorden sættes i relief i denne billedskønne og altopslugende dokumentar, hvor totaloplevelsen af billede og lyd er i hovedsædet. Filmen, der blev optaget over syv år, italesætter vores forhold til kloden på en måde, ord aldrig ville kunne.

Kim Ki-duks 11. film indbragte ham både instruktørprisen og filmkritikernes pris i Venedig i 2004. Filmen følger en ung mand, der bryder ind hos andre mennesker og overnatter, hvorpå han rydder op efter sig og forlader stedet uden at stjæle noget. En dag bryder han dog ind i et hus, der mod forventning ikke er tomt, og møder en kvinde, der er offer for sin mands brutale vold. Hun slutter sig til den navnløse tyv, og der udvikler sig et ordløst kærlighedsforhold mellem de to, der lever sammen som moderne storbynomader. Filmen er dialogfattig, men utrolig gribende i sit portræt af de to outcasts, der lever usynlige liv. Det sublime ved ’Tomme huse’ er, hvordan den forener det hårde og realistiske verdenssyn, der kendetegner Kim Ki-duks film, med elementer af enkel, smuk magi.
