MOVIHERO ESTIMATEWHAT IT'S ABOUT
Born with a balloon heart, a wide-eyed, dreamy and emotional boy drifts through life, never quite able to find where he belongs. His delicate, floating heart sets him apart—both a gift and a burden in a world that values groundedness, practicality and conformity. As he stumbles through life grappling against the weight of existence, he struggles with loneliness and the bane of being different. But one day, a quiet revelation shows him that what once felt like a flaw might be the very thing that sets him free.
