While trying to move 40 kids six New York City blocks all by himself, a stressed man accidentally loses a bouquet of a hundred balloons. In that bouquet, a lone black balloon scurries free from the rest. It dies and comes back to life, returning to the city, cruising for a companion. On its beat, it learns that humans are complicated creatures with extreme highs and lows, but full of life nonetheless. A film intended to be for children that turned into a sci-fi urban fable, this is the story of The Black Balloon.
Executive Producer
Lenny tiene 34 años, es proyeccionista en un cine y tiene la custodia de sus dos hijos únicamente dos semanas al año. A pesar de ser un padre rabiosamente divertido para un niño, constituye un manual viviente de todo lo que un progenitor nunca debería hacer. 'Go get some Rosemary' le sigue durante estas dos semanas, en las que incurre en una larga serie de irresponsabilidades en absoluto malintencionadas, pero que terminan siendo desconcertantes incluso para un par de niños a los que les encanta el juego y el caos. Pero dos semanas son muy poco tiempo, y entre pesadillas que incluyen mosquitos gigantes, tomará una peligrosa decisión.
Idea
A lost and troubled Eleonore looks for something everywhere, even in the bags of strangers.
Producer
Training his lens on a once ubiquitous but now fading slice of Americana, documentarian Mike Mills profiles six paperboys who call Stillwater, Minn., home. Featuring interviews and footage of the youngsters pedaling through their daily rounds, the film is a paradigm of America's changing face as adults assume a role formerly filled by pubescent entrepreneurs.
