A documentary road movie about the life of a circus family between realism and magic. A children's documentary with animations by Julia Lemke & Anna Koch (Badabum Duo). 75th Berlinale Generation Kplus.
Santino is a circus child. His great-grandfather is one of the last great circus directors in Germany and tells him the stories of his ancestors: Of his friendship with an elephant, of goodbyes, new beginnings and life in a caravan, always on the road. ZIRKUSKIND tells the story of the artists' lives - of growing up with an extended family and animals, of a life without a net and a double bottom, free as a bird.
Zirkuskind - From October 16 at the cinema Intimes
