Spartacus & Cassandra

— A tender look at a Romanian brother and sister duo living in Paris after being taken in by Camille, a young trapeze artist who offers them security. Their love for their parents is strong, but their mother suffers from demons and is more a child than they are. Their father insists they should live with him, but he has no plan for work or housing and it is obvious they’ll be on the streets. It’s a sad story, watching the parents who can’t seem to live without their children taking care of them, and the children who have a chance for something better with Camille and must abandon their parents for their own ultimate survival.
