Abstract
This study analyzed the meaning of housing(home) and the reason for the choice of main character Mateusz, a severely disabled person with cerebral palsy, by combining a movie analysis of life feels good and a phenomenological approach that focuses on the essence of dwelling as an existential space. Specifically, Van Manen's hermeneutic phenomenological analysis method was used in movie. In the analysis results, the essential themes derived from the home experience at Mateusz' house include comfortable safety where you can play and study as you please, a place of protection (spatiality), intimacy of the body (corporality), a special child who receives the best love(ralationality), and my time will be good (temporality). And as the reasons why Mateusz finally chose the existing residential facility for the intellectually disabled people as a settlement include change of the owner of the primary territory, changes in the body, growth in thinking about people, optimism for the future through the creation of close relationships with the fellow disabled, employees, the facility's special consideration for Mateusz, and continuous ties with the elder brother.
 Based on these analysis results, this study presented implications and suggestions.
