L'enfant au ballon is a 42-second short film by the Lumiére brothers from 1896. It is about a small male child who walks with his mother by the hand in a park. When the mother sits down on a park bench, the child holds the balloon. Two workers, one carrying a ladder, pass by. The child gets frightened and lets go of the balloon. He rises and the four people stand in the circle and watch the balloon go.
