Synopsis by Bhob Stewart
Lebanese filmmaker Philippe Aractingi wrote and directed this French-German documentary about a child gymnast, 11-year-old Mustafa, touring Morocco. Donning a bright red costume, Mustafa and the other youngsters in the acrobatic troupe perform in small towns and mountain villages -- with their parents pocketing the profits. This film won a special jury prize at the 1997 Beirut Film Festival.
