| Description |
The local balloonman declares the outbreak of an alarming trend: citizens are spontaneously bursting. With its diminishing population, this is a town inhabited by not-quite-together people who are constantly in analysis. Elliot, a hapless balloon enthusiast, struggles to uncover the cause of the random implosions and convince everyone they need help before they all disappear. Man The Balloon is a satirical and absurdly comic parable of an insecure, small-minded society unwittingly bent on self-destruction. |
