Synopsis

In an unnamed Balkan country, as the deafening rattle of war dies away, Stevo is left alone with his young children as his wife has been killed by a grenade. Just as it seems the worst is over, a terrific rumble can be heard nearing the family home as a threat. But what seemed to be incoming invaders turn out to be nothing less than the amazing Circus Fantasticus. This group of performers sets up camp nearby and lives up to their name as they prove to have supernatural powers. Gradually, the traumatized Stevo and his children find their lives positively changed by the bond the form with them when strange yet affirming occurrences become the norm: the deceased mother turns up to offer solace, acrobats dance with an enemy tank, and the dying ringmaster is treated to a spectacular special performance.
