Exploring the plight of the general public, Balloon is more universal.
The film "Balloon" was produced by the original crew, and tells the story of a family of Dajie (Kimba) who was involved in a series of embarrassing and difficult events in the 1990s because of an ordinary condom. His wife Zhuo Ga (Solangwangm) is pregnant unexpectedly and wants to abort the child. However, Dajie, who believes in piety and tradition, firmly believes that the child is the reincarnation of his dead father. Faced with various problems and pressures in reality, there are irreconcilable contradictions between the originally loving couple.
Compared with Pema Tseden’s previous film works, Balloon starts from the contradiction between the belief and reality of ordinary Tibetan families, and shows the challenges and choices faced by Tibetan families in the face of multiple pressures of belief and reality, family emotional demands, etc., which includes the torture of human nature and the exploration of philosophical thinking of belief, and at the same time, it has universal values that can make the public understand and empathize. For example, the observation of Yuemu China’s film shows that the conflict between traditional belief and realistic pressure is common among the public at present. Balloon can be regarded as one of Pema Tseden’s works that is closest to the general audience in recent years.
