CIRCO
Feature Film, 90 min, Canada, Brazil, 2024
SYNOPSIS
Filmed over 5 years, CIRCO portrays the search for the unconditional love of a family.
Richard, a young circus artist sees his stability shattered the day he is kicked out from his foster mother’s house. This rupture brings him back to his past as an orphan in a society that abandons him.
He whirls and clings from the hardships of the favelas to the desires of fame, from the solidarity of friendships to the hopes of drag queens and spirits. Confronted with his contradictions and childhood traumas, his only way out is to become one with the theater of his dreams.
