On the balcony

A young couple is walking hand in hand in a street with apartment buildings of four floors. To their left, on the last floor, the balcony has an orange roll installed together with a white umbrella to make shadow to the flowers on the balcony.

The girl looks upward to the balcony. She remarks the details of it, but she swiftly redirects her direction towards the street when she catches a glimpse of an old man sitting there, waving at her.

The boy looks up. The old man never stops waving. So the boy waves back. The girl looks once again towards the balcony, at the man waving at her. She waves back at him and smiles. The old man smiles back at her.

A simple but meaningful experience bonds them. The couple wanders away, and the old man remains on his balcony. But all three of them keep a smile on their faces.
