Actually three
This film depicts the construction and launching of two improvised hot-air balloons. There were actually three. The first was an utter failure, because they had utilized a cotton-based fabric that was porous and leaked air massively.
Second adaptation
'Ballon' is based on the true story of two families who tried to cross the East and West German border traveling aboard a balloon. However, it is not the first film to narrate these facts, since in 1982, John Hurt starred in 'Fuga de noche', film that dealt with the same events.
Farewell to comedy
'Wind of Freedom' is the first thriller directed by Michael Bully Herbig, a director specializing in comedy.
