Little Mahmoud loves the circus, and dreams of performing in The National Egyptian Circus as an acrobat. So Mahmoud practice hard several days a week with his mentor Kamal, who joggles Mahmoud on his feet one and a half meters above the ground in dangerous and daring acrobatic acts. 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.
