A small circus and its company find themselves in the dunes near the North Sea. It is a brooding place and there is not enough audience. Angele, the dancer lives with Elliot, the clown who is haunted by his own conscience. Heroy, the circus ringmaster is a cruel and schizophrenic person. Heroy asks Zephyr, the magician and Zohra the gypsy to help him win the heart of Angele. Will Angele’s heart be won?
"'You need a lot of chaos into your heart to give birth to a dancing star.' (Nietzsche) This quote sums up pretty well the intention to release the 'life story' of this film and the movie itself, in his poetic quest as in its manufacture. In the chaos that every life is going through, we have to face rudeness, anger, helplessness… The presence of a Supreme Consciousness (…) opens us up to hope for the best of ourselves." (Sophie Blondy)
