Synopsis:

The Secret Life of Balloons explores the parallel journeys of a boy and his girlfriend at very different stages of existence. Left lost and believing they’ll never connect again, this uplifting short film asks questions about the boundaries of love, life and letting go.

This is the first short film undertaken by sisters Lauren (age 18) and Nina (age 16) Graham. Inspired by the Australian Theatre for Young People's Fresh Ink playwriting development programme, which collects the best new monologues together to be performed as The Voices Project.

Nina wrote the original monologue as a dramatic piece of creative writing for a school assessment on the topic of love and loss. The sisters then adapted the piece into a short film project that was undertaken during the School holidays as they waited for external exam results. Together they managing to raise and utilise a small budget recruit a great team of friends to help shoot, compose music, edit and perform the work. The end result has been an exciting journey and taken them in a very different direction from the original work. The finished work has both surprised and delighted them from an initial idea of loss and despair they have managed to capture an uplifting film of loss and love.

Synopsis

A feel good comedy romance.

The title is a sly, engaging take-off on a 1977 Bollywood lost and found comedy . The film made a strong, good-humourd plea for India’s divided people to integrate when it came to the caste, class and social divide. In his debut film, Atul Malhotra transposes that theme to the Indian diaspora. Amusing, ironic and harsh in turns, the film observes the rigid social taboos that so affect and distort the young and the families they interact with. It does so through three childhood friends looking for love in multicultural London. Interracial romance, violence, sexuality, family, love and loss is the brotherly bond shared by the trio, Amar Akbar & Tony, over ten years as they deal with the absurdities of life..
