Cirkusztestvérek

At the beginning of 2020, 12 students from Hungary are given the opportunity to continue their studies abroad in a special international class for circus artists. These 12- to 14-year-old children are prepared to leave their families and friends to start a new life far from home. However, at that moment, the global COVID-19 pandemic strikes, paralyzing the world and preventing their journey. After several months of uncertainty, the students are finally able to spend a semester at the Kyiv Academy of Circus Arts in the fall of 2021. They view the local life, which is shattered by war a few months later. A special bond forms between the Hungarians and Ukrainians, bridging the gap between cultures. (Zlín Film Festival)
