Description

A Small Circus is a powerful portrayal of life in a small German town on the brink of chaos. In 1929, tensions are running high as workers and bosses clash, and the threat of violence hangs in the air. As the summer months bring an uneasy sense of calm, a shabby reporter named Tredup stumbles upon photographs that could make his fortune - but at what cost? Meanwhile, a mysterious travelling salesman from Berlin is stirring up trouble, while the Mayor seeks to maintain his grip on power. As alliances are broken and plots are hatched, the fragile balance between town and country begins to unravel. Set against the tumultuous backdrop of Weimar Germany, A Small Circus offers a vivid and original portrayal of a nation in crisis.
