Xavier’s father was a circus clown. He, a peaceful person, was sent to the National Guard and thrown to a cruel civil war. After years went by, his son also started working as a circus clown. He is a friend with locals, each one of whom is an unusual personality with his own story. But except for friend feelings, there is a place for jealousy and envy, because Xavier and Sergio, another clown, look for the benevolence of one and the same woman, who is considered to be the most beautiful one in the circus. They are ready for everything to be with her. Death is seen as a better outcome for them, then being rejected.
