The 12 year old Spartacus and his 9 year old sister Cassandra are two Romanian Romani children living on the outskirts of Paris. The director spent a lot of time with them following them around day by day, several years in a row. He tells us their story at the moment when they are at a crossroad in their life: they have to choose between their parents who live on the streets and Camille, a 21 year old Frenchwoman, a trapeze artist who has decided to take them under her wing and offer them a better life.
