Zirkuskind plot

"Every day is magical, if your playground is the circus."

Santino was born into the world of the circus, surrounded by magic, animals, and a life full of movement. His great-grandfather, one of Germany's last great circus directors, shares with him the rich stories of their family: from the special friendship with an elephant, the painful separations and exciting new beginnings, to the adventures of living in a caravan. As they travel from place to place, Santino discovers the beauty and challenges of a nomadic life.

I read what Brix wrote about it before watching the film. I can indeed imagine that, if you know the world well, you look at it with different eyes. I know hardly anything about circus life, so this film comes across as a bit more of the same. Although it does give a realistic picture of how things work in a circus, I imagine. It is a wonder that people still want to do it. That this is passed down from generation to generation, making it seem like if you were born there, you hardly have any other choice than the circus. But also, what an organization it all is. What long days. Setting up, taking down, traveling, organizing, rehearsing acts, performing. And in between all that, the children also have to go to school every time they are in a different place. Furthermore, the animations were quite nice when grandpa talked about how things used to be. So certainly fun if you want to get an idea of what goes on in a circus, but as a film, a bit more of the same. And little development in terms of story.
