In a busy train station, seven-year-old Ella clings to her cherished blue balloon as she boards a train with her mother, Cindy. However, when the balloon becomes trapped outside the train, Ella is torn between holding on and letting go. Meanwhile, she strikes up an unlikely friendship with Shane, a boy on the train, who challenges her beliefs about magic and the existence of angels. As the train journeys through a tunnel, Ella faces a pivotal moment of decision, guided by Shane’s wisdom and her own inner strength. Ultimately, she releases the balloon into the sky, learning the powerful lesson that some things are meant to be set free. Through this poignant encounter, Ella discovers the beauty of embracing change and the profound bonds that can form in unexpected places.

Blue Balloon is the first screenplay I wrote while attending an Edinburgh Council adult learning program in 2019. I have begun the adaptation to a feature film of the same name.
