About
Comedy/Drama (neo-absurdist)
A man sits on the 7th storey window ledge of an apartment building, contemplating suicide. All around him, the building's inhabitants pop in and out of their windows, revealing snippets of their own incongruous lives. They are off beat and even outlandish. As the man contemplates the meaninglessness of his existence, he is unexpectedly and suddenly set free: a charming and surprising ending.
