Summary
A character walks a tightrope suspended in the sky. Highliners take us into their unusual practice: setting up slacklines between peaks and summits, across valleys. Lines determined by aesthetics and apparent inaccessibility. Why this strange game, so physically and technically demanding? Why take such risks? From line to line, what motivates these tightrope walkers to defy vertigo: emotion, curiosity, the technical challenge? Within a fearless team, we share the quest for balance born from imbalance.
French version with subtitles.

Festival highlight
A question of balance? Setting up a slackline between two spikes is to create a link between two worlds, to unite emptiness and fullness, to disappear into immensity. In this latest film, Antoine Mesnage and his crew go even further with the aesthetics of the images and the physical and technical demands of their art.
