Synopsis

A cold world. People whose heads have been replaced by a cage filled with a rubber balloon cross paths with each other in the streets of an immense city. All these individuals resemble each other and live in a uniform way. Some, in an act of madness or lucidity, try to let their balloon fly free, but each attempt systematically meets with failure. But one person, nevertheless, finds a way to escape.
