Pascal Lamorisse is the son of filmmaker Albert Lamorisse. He is also the little hero of some of his father's films (White Mane, The Red Balloon and Stowaway in the Sky). Over the years, Albert Lamorisse, who took his son on all his shoots, sought to transmit his expertise and his passion for filmmaking, even on his last film, The Lover's Wind. There is something in the story of Pascal Lamorisse that touches on a fabulous story: it is the story of the transmission of cinema from father to child.
A small child, fascinated by a lighter-than-air balloon, clambers aboard. The balloon takes flight, lifting the child upward to an amazing adventure. The land-bound adults have conniptions as the balloon wafts by; the child has nothing more than a great time.
Um garoto encontra nas ruas de Paris um balão vermelho abandonado. Depois de um certo tempo, o balão começa a apresentar uma consciência própria, seguindo o menino por todos os lugares.
Garoto faz de tudo para capturar um cavalo branco selvagem. O problema é que vaqueiros têm a mesma intenção, mas o cavalo foge. A esperança do menino é que ele reencontre o animal outra vez. O filme foi rodado nas belas paisagens de Camargue, região pantanosa ao sul da França, onde o rio Rhône se encontra com o mar Mediterrâneo.
