Vida de Circo
(Circus Life)
Dir. Pablo Nicoli & Gabriel Nicoli -  100 min. - Argentina

Characters trapped in their own worlds, nomads who journey through out many places in the Argentinean territory entertaining from town to town.

Their relationships, goals, struggles and ghosts, that little by little will denote through a compendium of narrations which will show us a way of living that dates from long ago and still effective nowadays. Circus ways of living. Like any other community, eager to succeed and improve day by day as an attempt to come out ahead, to overcome prejudices and erase dark memories.

The circus owner, who’s a Yugoslavian descendant, is a gipsy who has a known and long circus background. He owns and runs his own circus along with his wife and children. A few years ago, the Servian family was stroked by a tragic event that changed their lives forever. While selling tickets for the show a thief shot Jorge’s brother twice into the chest taking his life away.. On his brother memory, and stronger than ever before, Jorge decided they would be the most important Circus throughout Latin-American. After a huge investment, the Servian bought the biggest circus tent in the country. As a result, changes were necessary, like adding new different performances and hiring new employees as a way of gaining recognition not only from the press itself but also from their equals. Day after day, every member of the circus will hardly work in order to archive their main goal.
