While his brother is fighting in WWI, a small independent Australian boy who lives in the countryside with his overbearing mother and pet dog and who must wear a leg brace decides to overcome his handicap no matter what.
Let The Balloon Go is a marvelous children's film produced in Australia at the height of that country's 1970s cinema renaissance. It's a simple, straightforward, and beautifully shot tale about a crippled boy overcoming his disability.
