The Balconettes
Marseille, 46 degrees, 3 flatmates, 1 mysterious neighbor.
Directed by Noémie Merlant
Produced by Nord-Ouest Films, Tandem
A darkly comedic romp about female friendship and neighborhood intrigue that pivots from voyeuristic fun to murder, balancing playful meddling with genuine menace.
As a heat wave brings a Marseille neighborhood to a boil, three roommates gleefully meddle in the lives of their neighbors from their balcony. Until a late night drink turns into a bloody affair.
