Synopsis
The film team spent several days accompanying the Circus Hein. Sandra, Benjamin, Enrico and Jessica appear alongside their parents in the ring as clowns or acrobats. Their lives are governed by the rhythm of the circus as they pack up, move to a new town and a new school, set up for the next performance, and once again pack up and move on.
