Circus artists risk their lives every day to bring audiences the thrill they crave. However, despite their incredible bravery, many barely make enough to survive. The Scholl family has eight generations of circus performers, but now they’re struggling to keep the lights on.
One member of the Scholl family is René, a circus artist who needs to be in top physical form to perform his daring feats. However, René’s battle with a brain tumor is putting him under tremendous strain. His sense of balance is off-kilter, and there are fewer audiences turning up to see them. With the future of the circus in doubt, will the Scholls be able to overcome their struggles and keep the family tradition alive? Find out in this heartwarming documentary.
