Movie man sees woman crying in upstairs window and creates her a rooftop garden

A group of travellers, each with a personal problem that they want to hide, arrive at a mysterious Welsh country inn. There is a certain strangeness in the air as they are greeted by the innkeeper and his daughter. Why are all the newspapers a year old? And why doesn't Gwyneth seem to cast a shadow?

Young girls are disappearing in and around the Mary Magdalen Halfway House for Troubled Girls.

This film depicts a wife, in the process of starting a small garden on her home balcony. Although becoming gradually beautiful, the project evokes a cascade of feelings and bitterness.

A woman is hanging out wash on a roof. Below the edge of the roof, a man peers up at her while painting the eaves. The director, in order to add zest to the film, had threads attached to the hem of the woman's garments to make it appear as though the wind was blowing her skirts and allowing the painter to see what he should not. The woman hanging out the wash suddenly discovers the illicit observer, picks up a bucket filled with soapy water, and throws it upon him.

When Deirdre accidentally spills coffee on regular customer and event planner, Deirdre offers to help him get back on track by lending her rooftop garden design services for his boss's next big event.

A man returns from his wife's funeral and from the balcony notices a young woman in the house opposite. Fascinated by this image, he begins to stare intently into her life — with routine, passions and the light that does not fade in the night. What does this observation become — an unhealthy obsession, an opportunity to open the soul to new perspectives, or just an escape from loneliness and a ghostly substitute for the meaning of life?

A troubled young boy finds his rooftop escape jeopardised by the girl he pines for.

A quiet moment with the plants. A home-grown film: shot in my garden, processed in my basement, and dried on the lawn.

The film On the Roof is a revival of the memory of my grandparents' explosive love story. A tale I heard countless times as a young boy, I sought to translate it into the cinematic medium, preserving their memory forever.
