The Balcony Affair
In an urban apartment complex two elderly strangers engage in an unusual courtship from the distance of their balconies. Divided by a hundred feet of asphalt, the barrier of language, and the fact that they both live like teenagers in the homes of their children, these two unlikely lovers struggle to communicate their affections through funny and endearing ways.
