The title is a paraphrase of the great Milan Kundera's novel "Unbearable Lightness of Being"
The drawings are made by Ignacy, Marcel and Katia, Magdalena Wilk's children. She is my friend from elementary school.
Big thanks to all of them.
Big thanks to Joanna Pawłowska, without her, balloons can't fly.
