The story of Friends House takes us to a fictitious Quaker commune, and examines the lives of three members of the community as they search to find a new roommate for their house. Through their search, we see the challenges of living together, the value of community, and are left to contemplate questions about how and why we choose the communities we are part of, and what role we play as individuals to help enrich our own communities.
