Is this the movie we're thinking of?


My sister and I were remembering a movie we saw a while back. All we remember was there were two people who were in love, and they couldn't be together because one of them was an Indian and the other was a French Canadian or something, and somewhere during this movie, they were making love on top of a hot air balloon. Is this the right movie?

It must be this movie you are remembering, though time has made the details fuzzy.

The girl, Albertine - Indian. The boy, Avik - Eskimo (actually half white, half Eskimo).

The hot air ballon - the top of a barrage balloon inflated with hydrogen or helium, a unique setting for a love scene. But at the film's end there is a hot air balloon.

Does the boy's exclamation sound familiar? - "Holy boy" - which later became the name of the bomber he was the bombadier on...

No, there's another movie where a couple makes love on top of a hot air balloon.
