Two boys grow up rough on the streets of Cape Town. One day their delinquent gang robs Anders (van Heerden) who, in the ensuing chase, sees Keir (Geduld) leap over a park gate with an agility he admires. Anders finds Keir and, whilst making him work off his crime, dangles a future as a trapeze artist before him. Kier is hooked, and when Spies assaults a policeman, Keir flees and joins Ander's trapeze troop.
Over the years, Keir's dedication takes flight and is about to pay off. But when Spies is released from prison, Keir must perform the most dangerous trick of his career and resolve the conflict between his future and his past.
Fox's uplifting debut feature utilises the insecure energy of youth to capture the tightrope of human emotions and choices that tips the balance between success and failure.
