The brothers Louis and Jantje travel from fairground to fairground with their Ferris Wheel and their Mobile Home. Every week a different place with different people. Because of this traveling life their bond is strong. They are bound to each other. Finding themselves often in places where there are no other children. But Louis has reached the age of 12 which means he will have to leave his family and his little brother for a boarding house in the city where he will attend high school.

'Photography and film give me an opportunity to fulfill my curiosity for the mysteries of everyday encounters. I am always interested in people’s vitality and fate, how we shape the world around us, and vice versa' Photographer and director Tara Fallaux studied Film and Photography at various art schools in The Netherlands and the US. She now works from Amsterdam combining personal projects and commercial work.
