Jonas is 13 and dreams of keeping the circus he built at in the backyard alive. He practices acrobatics and clowning with his friends in front of an enthusiastic audience of neighbourhood kids. Born in a traveling circus, some years ago his family left the circus in search of a more stable future in the city of Salvador, in Brazil’s north-east. As Jonas gets older, he realizes the difficulties of finding a balance between his passion and school demands. Worried about his future as an artist, he also feels responsible towards the film, since he’s finding it increasingly difficult to look after his circus. Will he keep fighting for his childhood dream as he enters adolescence?
