He subjects him to grueling training in order to help him achieve his dream of becoming the greatest tightrope walker in the world. But after Franz-Ali is injured, Marcel abandons him for a petty thief, and the desperate young man is driven to a tragic act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A tribute to 20-year-old Arab tightrope walker Abdallah Bentaga -whose turbulent love affair with Jean Genet led to his suicide-, Nico Papatakis\u2019s final film is a bold psychological and socio-political drama about class distinction, racism, homosexuality and the dynamics of control and submission.
