After 35 years of strict birth control, the Chinese government reversed course in 2015 and now encourages multiple births. In August 2022, it announced its intention to limit abortions. What are the reasons and effects of this reversal? How are these policies applied among "minority ethnic groups" such as Tibetans? The film Balloon focuses on the portrait of a woman caught between the birth control policy imposed by the People's Republic of China, and traditional Buddhist values according to which all life is sacred.
