Boy Across My Window
Synopsis
This documentary is a poignant portrayal of the mundane ritual of a boy on a terrace. He sweeps the floor, waters the plants, washes the dishes and clothes, and walks to the balustrade of the terrace to watch other kids of his age play soccer below. The terrace is his universe.
