Freedom is only separated by a wall

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.

If the border is not used to defend against invading enemies from outside, but to resist people who defect from within, no matter how beautiful the blueprint is, it can only prove the failure of its system. The story of what happened on both sides of a Berlin Wall has actually explained a lot, but many people have turned a blind eye to it until now. Adapted from real events, the whole process is very tense, very observable, and quite impressive.
