Inadvertently revisited "Balloon" again, and now I know that he has a prototype.
“In the East German balloon escape in 1979, two families, with eight members in total, escaped the Eastern bloc country of East Germany by crossing the border to West Germany in a homemade hot air balloon. The escape happened at approximately 2:00 am on 16 September 1979. The plot to accomplish this was carried out over a period of one and a half years, including an unsuccessful attempt, three different balloons, and various modifications until the successful escape occurred. One failed crossing alerted the government to the plot , but the police were not able to identify the suspects before their flight to the west." - Wikipedia
When balloons are no longer a happy toy for children, when balloons become a vehicle for people's pursuit of freedom.
I admire their courage, their yearning for freedom, their pursuit of freedom.
