Storyline
Balomania unveils a clandestine society of balloon makers in Brazilian favelas, dedicated to crafting and flying illegal hot air balloons, some towering up to 70 metres adorned with firecrackers. The director, initiated into this subculture by legends like Jabá, forms complex bonds with balloon creators and hunters like Ton. Amid Brazil's socio-economic challenges, the film questions stereotypes about favelas, offering a surreal exploration of art's transformative power in the face of political collapse..
