A documentary series in two parts about a group of young students at an alternative school in Denmark. At AFUK (the Academy for Untamed Creativity), also called “The Circus School”, it is acceptable to be different. The school believes in quirky characters, and that everyone is capable of much more than they think they are. For a year we follow the students on the “artist course”, a group of young talents within circus and performance, as they develop their unique skills. These young people have never had much success within the framework of the traditional education system but at AFUK they will get a chance to live out their talent and personalities, which they have often felt insecure about and not often been fully appreciated for. They are committed and have a lot invested in this school year, where new friendships and a new sense of community could emerge.
