On the Wire

Overview

Hajar and Badr are two children who grew up on the streets, an experience that left an indelible mark on them. At 10 years old, Hajar already replaces her deceased mother and takes care of her younger sister. Badr, on the other hand, grew up with his grandfather, a Gnaoua musician, traveling through the city's streets. The two children meet in a circus school, a demanding place that forces them to undergo a radical transformation. They begin a new life where the only path forward is... on a tightrope.
