User review:

He does a real great job . Exploring each nuance, defining each aspect of a character for who the angry, the loneliness, the pressure in different senses are the basic and fundamental challenges. A film about bullying but, in same measure, about media and the superficiality of short Youtube – like short films. About a discover, desired by so many vulnerable teenagers and its high price. I love “Ballon” for each scene. For the wise adaptation of superhero theme, for great aspects of the fight against yourself, for the inspired end. So, a lovely short drama. And a great performance from the young Jonah Beres.
