A contemplative portrait of a dying dancer observing life from his Paris balcony, meditating on mortality, meaning, and the quiet beauty of human existence.

Pierre, a professional dancer, suffers from a serious heart disease. While he is waiting for a transplant which may (or may not) save his life, he has nothing better to do than look at the people around him, from the balcony of his Paris apartment.
