In the organizer's words:

Documentary about the mysterious world of the baloeiros - men from the Brazilian favelas who build and release giant, handmade hot air balloons. Although this practice has been banned in Brazil since 1998, they continue to live their passion - as an expression of art, community and freedom. The director delves deep into this subcultural scene, accompanying the balloon builders on their nightly activities for over five years and showing how strongly their work is linked to risk, identity and social resistance. The film impressively poses the question: Where is the line between illegal action and cultural expression? An impressive and depressing picture of artists who are prevented by the government from living out their passion. (Morgis Dragis, DK ES 2024 - FSK 12 - OmeU)
