Balconada

A hot summer day brings several neighbours out onto their balconies. When a welcome downpour finally breaks the afternoon torpor, one of them finds a way to reconnect everyone with each other and with the present moment. A poetic animated short balancing drama and comedy, exploring how art can bring people together and open the possibility of change.
