In this brief portrait, an aging acrobat considers the end of his beloved career. Sebastien lives for the exhilaration of performing, but he is the oldest member of his troupe and the circus is not an easy way of life. His dilemma plays out over an intimate conversation with his parents—who are still in awe of the risk involved in his work—and moments of quiet reflection between rehearsals, where hard questions seem to occupy his thoughts.
