Overview
This documentary follows a colourful group of people of different ages, nationalities, professions, and backgrounds, united by a shared passion for kite flying. It is a poetic and deeply human story about the joy and freedom which kites bring, the talent and dedication of their creators, and the festivals where “flying” enthusiasts from around the world come together. A film about harmony in the universe, it shows that the pilot, the kite, and the sky are connected by a single line.
