I found this documentary to be somewhat melancholic but eye-opening regarding a small family owned circus traveling throughout Mexico. You are witness to the terribly hard work that goes into its' operation for quite small renumeration.
The family bonds are the cement that keeps it all together. I found the children of the circus family to be the highlight of the film, with their eternal optimism regardless of the circumstances.
The most distressing part of the documentary was to see how the animals are housed and generally cared for.
The film contains a number of surprises, though, and goes in directions that you don't expect. In total, it was a rather fascinating look at the inner workings of a small traveling circus.
