On the eve of the start of the summer tour, the owner and founder of a small circus dies suddenly. The troupe, in an attempt to save the season, decides to call upon the owner’s eldest daughter, Kate. Even though she has left the circus over fifteen years ago, she accepts, to everyone’s surprise, to put her present activities on hold and joins them.
Chance puts an Italian on her path – Vittorio. Intrigued by Kate’s personality and passionate for the life of a circus, he decides to follow them for a little while. Little by little, he will integrate the life of the troupe, so much so that he will cross the line and become part of the show. But above all, he will try to pierce Kate’s secret: why did she leave the circus in the past, and why did she accept to come backx
At the end of the tour each will go his own way. But which way is that?
