Balance (2012) is an intriguing documentary that takes us into the world of Iosif Grigorievich, an urban figure who’s crafted this unique balance system. The film’s atmosphere is a curious blend of whimsical and earnest. It captures Grigorievich’s eccentricity without losing sight of his medical insights.
