The film “Window” is a short cartoon by Boris Stepantsev. This is a poetic parable for adults, which goes only 10 minutes with the credits.
At the very beginning of the cartoon, a sad young man appears who looks out the window at the cityscape. It's raining outside, the weather is cloudy. The windows of the opposite house do not burn, but suddenly one of them lights up, and the young man blurs in a smile, and the cloudy night weather is replaced by clear.
In the window you can see the silhouette of the girl behind the curtain. She somehow grieves, then sits on a chair, suddenly the light in her window goes out, and the silhouette of a beautiful and sad stranger disappears. Along with it, the smile disappears from the face of the young man, who again plunges into despondency.
Expectation of happiness
The next night, the young man again stands at the window, waiting for the light to turn on in the window of the house opposite. Worried, he looks at the clock, then at the window again, but there is still no light. And yet that night, a stranger reappears in the window, which makes the guy shine again with happiness. The following footage shows the young man in his window flying towards the girl in the night starry sky, where it revolves around her, like the Earth around the Sun in an orbit. Perhaps the author wanted to show how much the young man managed to become attached to a stranger in such a short time. When the light in the window goes out again, the boy again plunges into sadness. As a sign of his sadness, even the moon in the sky hangs split into two halves. That's how the second night ends.
It's winter, it's snowing. The young man usually stands at the window and waits for the window in the house opposite to light up. Here he sees how the lights turned on in the apartment from below, then the windows in neighboring houses flashed, and the same window on the very last floor does not light up.
A young man panics, then he imagines how darkness thickens around him, his house falls apart, Suddenly a window with a silhouette of a girl slowly floats out over the horizon, and everything falls into place. Suddenly a young man sees a stranger going somewhere. She's about to turn off the lights. The young man in love this time flies out of the house with a bullet, runs to the house opposite and sneaks up almost on tiptoes to the entrance. The elevator goes down, the girl comes out of it and goes somewhere, and the shy hero turns away, and she passes by.
She is shy and the young man meets her. A stranger takes him by the hand, no one knows where the cloud comes from, they climb on it, and we see the halves of the sun in the sky reunite into one.
Dream longing
The heroes got married. They stand, dressed, at the window and admire each other. And suddenly in the house opposite lights up in the window, and there as an obsession appears the silhouette of a stranger, which distracts all the attention of the young man. He even stops paying attention to his half, but she hugs him. So they stand, embracing, and the young man sighs, continuing to look at the silhouette in the window. close

Eric Rohmer directs this short documentary that narrates the presence of women in French universities as of the time of its release -- 1966. During the film's short run, the narrator continues to point out that during the advent of World War II, only 21,000 women attended college and made only a 30 % of the student body, a number that by the 1964-1965 school year had passed the 120,000 mark. Instead of opting to live according to what was expected of them, now they were joining the work force, trading in aprons for lab jackets and becoming professionals even after getting married. close
