Fresh from a sell-out world premiere at the BFI London Film Festival, we are delighted to present this screening of High Wire as part of Norwich Film Festival 2025.
Go-wing, 19, is going to be the first university graduate in the Au family – or so her father thinks. In between school breaks, she even works in his takeaway to help keep costs down. But Go-wing’s hectic yet mundane and isolated life is about to change when she arrives at a visiting circus on a delivery trip. There, not only her hidden rollerblading talent is celebrated, but she also discovers a bigger ambition – High Wire.
To keep pursuing this new-found, death-defying aspiration and still be the good daughter her father wants – she lies. Go-wing is going to play a balancing act not just on the wire, but also in real life.
