The ten-year-old Miklós Dongó is the best gymnast in the team of uncle Feri, called Puma. Puma is shrewd and cruel for the sake of success, Dongó's parents are proud of their son's results, and nobody has an eye for the boy's agony, for his suicidal thoughts, for his profound loneliness. At the age of 13 he runs away and performs in the show of circus Aurora, which has just arrived in the town. In the production without a net he falls down and breaks his bones. The Canadian coach's work, too, takes a bad start: he hits one of the kids, and therefore, instead of staying with the children's team, he is placed with the talented, yet difficult adolescent Kyle. He is about to give up, but thanks to his expertise, and his stamina, he is able to make himself accepted. After a 3rd place at the gymnastics world cup he is contracted by the world-famous artist group of the Cirque de Soleil. (Hungarotop)

Breathtaking gymnastics of film speech able to create extremely precise sets with a completely economical reperotary of movements. Synergies of seemingly incompatible atmospheres, twenty years of life contained in several taciturn temporal and spatial planes. Landing on both feet. Without walking up hill. Please teach the way in which Hajdu encompasses standardization in several semi-details. In addition to Václav Kadrnka, there may be other Czech artists who will understand that often a look at the curb will say more than a flashy retro panopticon with comedians in overalls.
