Let Your Perception Be Your Guide…
At the Manhattan-based Center of Balloon Days, you will find a psychotherapy unlike any that came before it. Imagine unlocking your desires and your fears and manipulating them in an unparalleled lucid-dream-like state.
Bookish Elliott Bailey, a young psychologist at the Center, struggles to prove the perfect life exists, all while helping others with their own troubles; love-starved Howard Nor’s use of Balloon Days lends him temporary respite from the grips of depression, but they may be allowing him to live in a fantasy while his real life falls apart; and top lawyer Orson Thatch develops an obsession with Balloon Days, as it’s the only time he can see his dead wife—even if it risks his career and his relationship with his seven-year-old son. All three face a choice: Continue to live a life rooted in illusions or overcome the challenges of reality.
Genre-blending and emotionally rich, Balloon Days powerfully highlights the longing for acceptance, the agonizing struggle when our morals are put to the test, and the conflict between escapism and responsibility. It is a moving exploration of the entwined layers of one’s mind, pulling us deep into the psyche and returning us to the shallow with sincere insight.
