La Cuerda Floja (The Tightrope)
This touching documentary tells the story of a family that tries to maintain their old-fashioned circus afloat because they firmly believe in the
transcendence of their art. The performances are evocative and the performers passionate, but the crowds are getting small. Is the noble search for glory giving way to the mere struggle for survival? [Dir. Nuria Ibanez, Mexico, 2009; 80 min. In Spanish with English subtitles]
