OUT

A documentary by Nika Saravanja, 85'

Synopsis

Ian, the little engineer and Pro, the little rebel are two 9 years old best friends, growing up in the suburbs of Nairobi. Their biggest dream is to become famous acrobats and travel somewhere far away. One day, Steve, their superhero and charismatic acro-trainer, announces that there will be a chance for some of the kids to travel and perform in Europe. Ian and Pro start training even harder hoping they will be the chosen ones. As the trip is getting closer, the tension between the two friends starts to build up, their self-esteem is shaky, and a family tragedy seems to destroy the dream of the boys. Will they find the strength to overcome everything and make their wishes come true ?

We’re thrilled to announce that Jump Out and the team won the ​“Bridge Between Cul­tures” at the Sole Luna fes­ti­val in Palermo.

“In a his­tor­i­cal moment marked by con­flicts, nat­ur­al dis­as­ters and vio­la­tions of fun­da­men­tal rights, Jump Out man­ages to con­vey a mes­sage of hope and pos­i­tive ener­gy and demon­strates how young gen­er­a­tions are able to face great chal­lenges and improve their liv­ing conditions.”

Thanks Sole Luna for your heart­warm­ing wel­come and see you soon for more screenings !
