Sergio driving a taxi in a white Naples overflowing sadness and garbage. Pouring rain leads her clients through the city trying to process the death of his brother, who started ten years earlier for Tibet and never returned. A pop singer, a recycler of fragments of life, a radio announcer, an old uncle, alternate seats on its bearing, each in its own way, a trace of his brother loved. Stubborn not to go over and get lost in an endless race, Sergio is overwhelmed by memories and the music produced in pairs with Alfredo, which in Buddhism and in its foundations had found the strength to cope with the disease. Those notes that he believed buried and laid to always return overbearing and demanding a soundboard that resonate and express his being sound. Putting his hand on the piano, Sergio Alfredo feel again, giving the past with the present and realizing itself in the feeling.
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.
