	THE MATCHMAKER (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Based on a children's book, Mirette on the High Wire by Emily Arnold McCully, it tells the story of the bond that grows between a little girl, the daughter of a boardinghouse keeper in turn-of-the-century Paris who caters to show-biz folk, and the secretive high-wire artist who takes refuge in her home.
		There are no other complications, except for Mirette's mother's understandable reluctance to allow her to pursue so dangerous a vocation.
		The theme is compelling: the tension between the dream of idling in an eternal childhood and the call to adulthood that, unlike the sexless waif Peter, the rest of us don't have the option or, ultimately, the inclination to resist.
