The Balcony (2008)
Soviet eighties. A little town in the periphery. After his parents' divorce, 11-year-old Rolanas and his dad move in next door to same-aged Emilija. Friendship is born between the kids, however, shyness or fear of opening up makes them communicate through the wall, sitting in their own balconies, or through a socket connecting their flats. Emilija's parents also appear to be on the verge of divorce. The children discover common topics, activities. Unfortunately, a nearly tragic accident prevents Emilija to go to the balcony. This encourages both children to set out for a "real" date.

One of my all time favorites.
Fantastic!
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
