Balkonas

Lithuanian with English sub-titles.

A rae gem indeed. An excellent quality version of Balkonas, with English sub-titles.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, or 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.

Quality: Excellent.
