He feels like a bloated balloon; he wonders if he still breathes. He bumps into a girl who once sat next to him at school, he wonders if it means anything to revisit the memories of secondary school. Or does he merely want to prove how incapable of breathing they all have become? Once she dreamt about becoming a dancer, now she works as a yoga instructor, teaching others as well as herself to breathe properly. Balloon vividly portrays the disillusionment, loneliness and nostalgia of people who have been working for almost a decade. Just how jaded have we all become?
