The story

In 1973, Parisian street performer Philippe Petit bites a hard candy from the audience, damaging his tooth.

Philippe returns to the circus that inspired him to wire walk as a child and practices in the big top after hours.

Annie supports him on his dream and arranges for him to practice at her music school.
