Every day is magical if your playground is the circus.
Eleven-year-old Santino is a child of the circus. He loves to spend time with his eighty-year-old great-grandfather, one of Europe‘s last great circus directors, who has become his best friend. Together, they share heartwarming stories: Stories of friendship with an elephant, of farewells, of new beginnings and life on the road. CIRCUSBOY chronicles the lives of these modern nomads, capturing a young boy‘s experience growing up among an extended family and animals—a life without a safety net, as free as a bird.
