Louise and Henrik are two aging professional circus acrobats who constantly search for new ways to perform their art form. They look upon their practice as a lifelong project, and they have no idea when or how it will end. But for how long can they keep it up, as they grow older and have become parents for the first time.

Television Without Frontiers centers around a 1982 project titled "Eurikon", originally an attempt to establish a transnational public service network. The film brings together media personalities that engage in multilingual conversations in an atmosphere that shifts between the past and the present.
