A group of Vietnamese kids spends its days jumping from one building to another, vaulting over the void between the houses. Danger doesn’t scare them. There are only rooftops below them and the sky above.

Declaration
film director
“This film was generated as an opportunity to situate myself where I like to be when I make or watch films, far from any certainties. I try to lose myself through these experiences and thereby generate a vacuum that provides an opportunity to go beyond my limits. The blurring between what comes from the group and what comes from the individual is very important in this film. Personality is represented as the sum of all the elements of the image and not as something peculiar to one person. In this way I find that an idea of continuity between people and spaces is established by the image. Whenever I think calmly about something, whatever it might be, I find that everything is made up in the same way, of seemingly opposing concepts which are both united and separated by their own tension.”
