Краткое содержание:
The setting is somewhere in the Soviet Union in the 1980s. Rolanas moves with his father, who has recently separated from his mother, into a socialist housing development on the edge of a small city. He is followed with particular attentiveness by his neighbour Emilija, who is the same age as him, from the entrance to his balcony. Both are shy, and thus they only speak with one another from their balconies or secretly at night through the wall. In time a special friendship develops between them, but before it reaches the point of an actual first date, something tragic and unexpected befalls them, which again and again postpones the date. The Balcony is rich in the details of everyday life and intensifies through the viewpoints of the cautiously observant children. In the center of this atypical film stands the development of the special friendship of Rolanas and Emilija.
The Balcony is a rich portrayal of a special friendship which develops between two children in a 1980s socialist housing project.
An undistinguished province town of the 80’s. After parents’ divorce, 11-year-old Rolanas and his dad move in next door to same-aged Emilija. Friendship is born between the kids, however, shyness or fear of opening-up makes them communicate through the wall, sitting in their own balconies, o through a socket connecting their flats. Emilija’s parents also appear to be on the verge of divorce. The children discover common topics, activities. Unfortunately, a nearly tragic accident prevents Emilija to go to the balcony. This encourages both children to set out for a “real« date.
