Balconies by Vicky Bayona

Emotions link cities and people who seek to break through their fears and rise up again

In this story, balconies are transformed into huge windows to spy on intimacies, passions and secrets, linking different realities in different cities.
In Buenos Aires, it shows the reunion of two old friends in the same place where something more than friendship blossomed, but reality prevents them from getting back together. In Rome, a daughter and a father engage in a conversation that reveals the unique bond that unites them. In New York, a detective takes a moment to smoke a cigarette when a beautiful woman surprises him and begins a game of seduction. In Mexico City, Antonia revisits the night she spent with her new love on her balcony, when an interesting and confident woman offers her an unexpected conversation, unaware that they share more than they imagine. In Kyoto, a lady contemplates life as her faithful cat rests on her lap. In London, two brothers meet again. In Madrid, a groom steps out onto the balcony during his wedding and is followed by the bride a few minutes later. Their conversation leads them down unex- pected paths. And in Paris, one girl quietly confides to another that she is experiencing violence.
