Plot synopsis
A mysterious man under the name Mister Iks performs in the circle, playing violin on a chair suspended in the air by ropes. His breathtakingly sad melodies reflect his internal turmoil - he's in love with a noble lady and this relationship is frowned upon in their society. A beautiful story of friendship, love, and circus, accompanied by the astonishing voices of the actors.
