It's not easy being Thomas Mollison. He's turning 16, and his autistic brother Charlie embarrasses him. So do his wacky parents. When his pregnant Mother (Collette) is confined to bed rest, he is put in charge of Charlie (Ford) and with the help of his new girlfriend Jackie (Gemma Ward), Thomas faces his biggest challenge yet.

The Black Balloon is funny and ultimately heart-warming story about fitting in, discovering love and accepting your family.
