This is the true story of Pinina and how she arrived in the traditional little Circus Pantaleone that performed in the old pantomime tradition. In a dream, circles and squares fight and Pinina meets a clown who guides her to the circus. The clown dies during a storm but the show must go on and so a replacement is found and life continues.
