Synopsis

In the summer of 1979, in Thüringen, in East Germany, two families put together a crazy plan. They are desperate to leave the DDR for the 'West' and plan to flee in a homemade hot air balloon.

After sewing and tinkering for weeks, the amateurs make their first attempt. Meters from the West German border, their balloon suffers from the rain and crash lands.

Luckily, they manage to avoid being caught by the police. However, the wreckage from their escape attempt is found and that triggers a desperate manhunt.

The tension rises as the families determine to try again, and a race against time ensues. On the one hand, the authorities, desperate to track down the traitors, become aware that a second attempt is being planned. On the other, the would-be escapees, conscious of the search drawing ever nearer, need to build a more robust, weatherproof balloon - and avoid leaving too many clues.

The soundtrack of Balloon missed an opportunity to create a memorable and impactful musical accompaniment to the harrowing true story. The music felt generic and uninspired, failing to leave a lasting impression on the audience or elevate the overall viewing experience.

William Lee

6/10

On the other hand, some may find the soundtrack of Balloon to be a bit repetitive and lacking in variety. While the music effectively conveys the tension and drama of the story, there are moments where a more diverse range of musical styles could have added depth and complexity to the overall listening experience. Despite its effectiveness in creating a sense of suspense, the soundtrack may benefit from incorporating more diverse instrumentation or thematic motifs to prevent monotony.
