Time and life wear us down. A talented circus performer of renown makes his meager living on the roads. An inexperienced young woman joins him as partner for this journey.

He will train her. They will travel. Will follow weather and traveling carnies taking work where they find it. Money comes as it may as they pass around the hat and weather the twists and turns of squalor and hunger.

As they move about they hear of and chase the supreme circus that will end their travails. It is unclear whether or not love is in the cards. But still they endure, travel circus by circus, grinding out a living in the only way they know, working towards the big break with the foretold circus. Providence has a strange way of bringing clarity and experience.

It's a shame that experience is often the result of mistakes. Yuri enigmatic and resourceful, Elena bright and bubbly. Perhaps this is enough.
