On the Balcony

synopsis

Monika, Marie, and Lenka have all been diagnosed with mental disorders. Nevertheless, they are not very different from those who are “normal”. A static observational camera provides the protagonists with maximum space for their daily conversations and the micro-dramas that are played out during the summer on the several square-foot meters of an apartment balcony in Žatec.
