In 1974, as the World Trade Center was being completed, a young French aerialist, Philippe Petit, threw a tightrope between the towers and spent almost an hour walking, dancing, and performing tricks a quarter of a mile in the sky.
The towers are gone, but their memory, as well as the space between them, are celebrated in this award-winning masterpiece.

如今,高塔已不復存在,但這本獲獎的傑作重現了人們對於兩座高塔的回憶及菲力普.佩帝行走於兩塔之間的往事。
