Bernhard Paul, co-founder of the world-famous Circus Roncalli, yearns to be back in the arena as the clown Zippo. In Harald Aue’s film, he gets ready, puts on make-up, and rehearses with the new clown from Mexico. But what’s the actual story of Roncalli? Paul lets us take a look back at the making of the circus, tells us of his life’s work, which seems natural, casual. Just like the music by the duo Ernst Molden & Der Nino aus Wien that floats through the film like artists on a trapeze.
