Balance is a 1989 German surrealist experimental[1] stop-motion animated film directed and produced by twin brothers Wolfgang and Christoph Lauenstein.
The one numbered 51 reels in a large, heavy box while the others scramble to the opposite side of the platform.
These two scuffle briefly, causing the box to slide to number 23, who tap dances to the tune as the others look on.
[6] Balance was commissioned by German group Alphaville as part of their Songlines project for their 1989 album The Breathtaking Blue.
[7] Lauenstein said of the video, "its visualization is not a literal illustration [of the song], which would be impossible in any case, but comprises a complete, autonomous story on its own.
