An Exceptional View

The documentary An Exceptional View follows a residential community disturbed by plans to build a funeral home in their courtyard. Though unbuilt, the project already unsettles residents, who share their personal perspectives from home. Their memories and imaginations create a collective story of how life might change—melancholy mornings, unsellable apartments, and distressed children. The film weaves daily routines with fears of death’s looming presence, showing how this unwelcome idea quietly becomes part of their everyday lives.
