Enter Through The Balcony

The lack of government regulation allows Ukrainians to build any balcony regardless of the style of the building, to the point that people sometimes rebuild them to be bigger than the apartment itself.
The film explores the balcony as an informal architectural form that is uniquely Ukrainian. It is a journey through the decades, examining both balconies and their owners in cities across Ukraine. Through these stories the film uncovers Ukraine’s post-Soviet history — people’s lives, the culture, and the relationship between personal and public space in cities.
