The Black Balloon

Drama about a teenage boy trying to adjust to a new neighbourhood, school and friends, while dealing with his unpredictable family.

Thomas is about to turn 16, and as if adjusting to a new neighborhood, a new school and new friends were not enough for a teenage boy to contend with, his family is about as unpredictable as they come. His autistic older brother Charlie suffers from ADD and attends a special school on the days that he actually chooses to go. His father is an enormous cricket fan who is prone to holding intense discussions with his teddy bear, and his mother is a very free spirit.
