The young girls Liya and Beza doing the Hoola Hoop, Habtamnesh doing the Aerial Hoop or the boy Beniyam, only with 5 years old, performing the Footing Acrobatic, are some of the kids who are great circus artists and that we can find in the magnificent landscapes of Ethiopia. A surprising film punctuated with everyday scenes of rural and city life.
