11 year old Mahmoud from Cairo loves the circus, and dreams of performing as an acrobat in The National Egyptian Circus. So Mahmoud practice several days a week with the experienced circus artist Kamal, who joggles Mahmoud on his feet one and a half metres above the ground in a dangerous and daring acrobatic act. But the day only has so many hours, and there is also so much homework to do. So Mahmoud struggles to live his dream, and keep his place above the ground, beneath the sky.
