Circus Movements

The young girls Liya and Beza doing the hula 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, that we can find in the magnificent landscapes of Ethiopia. A film punctuated with everyday scenes of rural and city life.
