White Palms

The ten-year-old Miklós Dongó is the best gymnast in the team of uncle Feri, called Puma. Puma is shrewd and cruel for the sake of success, Dongó's parents are proud of their son's results, and nobody has an eye for the boy's agony, for his suicidal thoughts, for his profound loneliness. At the age of 13 he runs away and performs in the show of circus Aurora, which has just arrived in the town. In the production without a net he falls down and breaks his bones. The Canadian coach's work, too, takes a bad start: he hits one of the kids, and therefore, instead of staying with the children's team, he is placed with the talented, yet difficult adolescent Kyle. He is about to give up, but thanks to his expertise, and his stamina, he is able to make himself accepted. After a 3rd place at the gymnastics world cup he is contracted by the world-famous artist group of the Cirque de Soleil. (Hungarotop)
