A secret society of giant hot air balloon makers in Brazil’s favelas risk everything to create and fly their illegal masterpieces. Dubbed as delinquents, these ‘baloeiros’ operate underground like street artists, bringing joy to their communities while evading government threats and bounty hunters. The director shares her initiation into the balloon brotherhood, where launching silk paper creations becomes an act of social redemption and collective dreaming.
Presented at the CPH:DOX and Visions du Réel film festivals.
