Fiú a porondon
A tizenegy éves Santino a cirkusz gyermeke. Imádja a nyolcvan éves dédapjával tölteni az idejét, aki Európa egyik utolsó nagy cirkuszigazgatója és az unokája legjobb barátja lett. Megható történeteket mesélnek egymásnak: egy elefánttal való barátságról, búcsúkról, új kezdetekről és az úton töltött életről. A CIRCUSBOY ezeknek a modern nomádoknak az életét követi nyomon, bemutatva a kisfiú tapasztalatait, aki nagycsaládban és állatok között nő fel – biztonsági háló nélkül, szabadon, mint egy madár.
