The Black Balloon Plot and Cast
As Thomas turns 16, his family has just relocated to a town in New South Wales due to his father's army posting, and his mother is pregnant. His older brother Charlie, who is autistic, faces his own adolescent sexual issues. Thomas feels embarrassed by Charlie in public, which creates obstacles when Jackie, a girl from his swim class he likes, visits their house, joins them for a walk, and attends a family birthday dinner. Thomas must decide if he can pursue teen romance while still being his brother's keeper.
