AUTUMN BALL
Highlights
Be they male or female, married or single, high or low in the social hierarchy, the characters in this film have two things in common; they live in the same Soviet-era housing estate and they are lonely. Moments of happiness are rare and fl eeting. Men pursue their ex-partners, or women they’ve never met before. Promising encounters end in injury and separation. Couples stay together long after they have stopped loving or trusting each other. The viewer sometimes simply has to laugh – just like the characters on the screen – at the absurdity of this society. AUTUMN BALL is a coal-black comedy about loneliness, desperation, and hope.
