Girl with Black Balloons (2010)

In the stairwell of the legendary Chelsea Hotel, Dutch filmmaker Corinne van der Borch stumbles upon an ornery elderly resident named Bettina, living in the shadows. Over decades Bettina has surrounded herself with boxes stacked from floor to ceiling, filled with works of her art that never left her studio. She sleeps on a lawn-chair, and dreams of her own museum, while the sediments of her life push her to the verge of eviction. During humorous, intimate and provocative conversations, their difficult friendship gradually grows, as the filmmaker attempts to unveil the life of one of New York's last true eccentrics.
