Eliseé takes care of the orphaned children and wants them to be happy, that their lives have meaning. In Prague, Czech Republic, Rosta Novák built up a world-renowned circus group. Due to the workload, he has permanent dark circles under his eyes. The majority of Rwandans think that all Europeans are magically rich. At the same time, many Europeans think it is necessary to help Africa with everything. What happens when these two worlds meet while preparing a joint circus performance?
