The pole is standing on top of a building with the words “Circus Busch“ painted over an archway. Possibly a circus in Germany? The man sways from side to side. Low angle shot showing the man balancing on a little ledge on the pole. It looks very precarious. “It’s too comfortable like this - let’s try the other way up.“ The man does a headstand on top of the pole. He then kicks his legs around. He swings backwards and forwards on the pole. “If the pole should ever snap - !“ L/S of the pole swinger. Building in the background has the word “Burohaus Borse“ painted on the side.
