Balloon

In Tibet in the 1980s, brothers Dargye and Drolkar turned their parents’ condoms into balloons, ignoring the consequences. Beyond scandalising the whole village, what was really worrisome was that they left their parents without condoms. Unfortunately, it coincides with the introduction of the one-child policy in China, consequently, the couple, who already have three children, do not know how they will manage.
