The Balcony Movie

2021 · 100 min

A quiet, humane eavesdrop on strangers' lives that feels like people-watching made intimate and gently philosophical.

Directed by: Paweł Łoziński
Genres: Documentary
Starring: Paweł Łoziński

Tagline: Everyone's story is unique and life surpasses imagination
Overview: Composed from the conversations that the director holds with people passing by in the street under his Warsaw apartment, each story in 'The Balcony Movie' is unique and deals with the way we try to cope with life as individuals. All together, they create a self-portrait of contemporary human life, and the passers-by present a composite picture of today's world.
