Double-bill of short films from French director Albert Lamorisse. In the Oscar-winning 'The Red Balloon' (1955), a young boy finds a red balloon, which becomes his companion, following him through the streets of Paris. Some bullies puncture the balloon but this does not prevent a jubilant ending. Pascal Lamorisse, the director's son, played the lead role. 'White Mane' (1953), set in the Camargue region of France, follows young Folco (Alain Emery)'s attempts to befriend a wild horse that local ranchers have given up trying to capture. But on discovering the boy has managed to tame the horse, the ranchers suddenly have a change of heart.
