Ana and Vladimir are just two children... but one day, their lives change forever. A red balloon floating above a busy market becomes the sign of an unsettling adventure. Ana is drawn into a world where shadows seem to breathe and grimy walls tell stories of fear. Cellars, creeping footsteps, a rusty nail like a sword-everything weaves together in a tale full of poetry and tension, about hope, survival, and a friendship that shines through even the deepest gloom.From the darkness of captivity to the light of a sunny park, The Red Balloon is a journey for all ages - a sensitive, gripping story full of haunting images that will linger with you long after the final page.
