Synopsis
In this dramatic yet heart-warming film, a man is thrust into a conflict he does not want to be a part of. Floating in the clouds in his hot air balloon is where he feels most at home and at peace with himself. From start to finish, In the Wind sweeps us away in a whirlwind of emotions.

A heartwarming animation highlighting how jarring war can be, and how it can displace individuals from their homes and happiness. A poignant ending and beautiful animation. Well done!
