Awkward Balloon

Dan and Ellie are aspiring writers, struggling to succeed in a competitive profession where talent is no guarantee of success. They’re also best friends. On the eve of Dan’s 30th birthday party, they cloister themselves in the beer garden to reminisce, laugh and drink a bottle of wine or two. As the alcohol flows, stories are recounted and both talk about their ambitions for the future. But an unexpected announcement brings out thinly veiled resentments, threatening to destroy the friendship they both hold dear.
