“Two sisters struggle with their own bodies. One, driven by ambition, seeks the limits of her possibilities, for the other, the body is a prison. One believes that ballet will save her from her memories. The other watches the world from the balcony with such attention that she sees and hears more. Their father runs away to the only place where he feels like he is truly alive. Each of them tames the past and tames the present. The film is an adaptation of the novel by Jakub Malecki.” (IMDb)
