Plot synopsis
For many years, the Frankoni tent circus has been touring cities in the Rostov region. Over Rostov-on-Don, the roar of military jets flying overhead can be heard, as military trucks traveling along the regional roads. The circus functions as a single organism, where everyone involved has their own story and unique worldview, yet all of them are closely interconnected. Circus attendant Dair is on the brink of receiving a summons and is prepared to go to the front line. However, no one can predict their future.
