My days in the traveling circus

Subtitles available: English, Spanish, French
Nigua ran away from home as a child to join a traveling circus. Since then, he has made entertainment his way of life. Today, Nigua is obsessed with succeeding in his new venture and turning his precarious show into the most admired circus in the world. To accomplish this, he travels through different towns in the Bolivian jungle along with several inexperienced teenagers, who join the circus chasing their own ideals of freedom and family. The daily struggle, the personal bonds and the harsh day-to-day put the idea of achieving his great dreams to the test.
Comprometido con la pasión que de niño le empujó a huir de su casa, Nigua está decidido a llevar adelante el proyecto de su vida: Crear su propio circo rodante. El escabroso camino que tiene que recorrer pondrá a prueba sus propias decisiones.
