Balcony Cacophony / Balkonska kakofonija

Quentin Haberham (Family Affair Films)
2022, The Netherlands, 5'

When a rich lady with a passion for topiary must swap her mansion with lush gardens for a tiny council flat, she finds it difficult to cope with her new neighbor and his strange hobbies.

Ko mora premožna gospa, strastna ljubiteljica oblikovanja grmičevja, svojo razkošno vilo z bujnimi vrtovi zamenjati za majhno socialno stanovanje, se težko spoprijema z novim sosedom in njegovimi nenavadnimi konjički.
