On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are sailing into the sky with new friends. We watched the 1956 film from Albert Lamorisse, The Red Balloon.
Suffice it to say, French school-age boys from the ‘50s appear to be amongst the worst punks to have ever lived. Who sees the joy that someone else gets from a harmless balloon and thinks, “I must destroy that”?
Lucky for us, that balloon-befriender finds the happiness that was stolen from him. It’s a lovely and timeless tale that we can all enjoy.
