one scene alone is the worth the price of a DVD
philgphilg17 October 2005
There is one scene in this documentary that I will never forget, in which the main subject talks about how he had long dreamed of making balloon hats for a senior citizen's aerobics class. Then there is a cut to the actual event occurring.

Fans of international travel will enjoy the footage from various continents in which locals were encountered and balloon hats worn. Fans of drama will appreciate the struggle of the two main characters to get their book published.

The filmmaker's style is very unobtrusive. He doesn't put himself on camera or his voice on the soundtrack and lets the subjects speak for themselves.

I watched this with about 25 friends and nearly everyone, even folks who typically do not enjoy documentaries, found him or herself engaged by the film.
