A ticket to entertainment at the Royal Brothers' Circus--the only Canadian tent circus. Filmed during a hectic summer season, with the Big Top up, in transit, or being erected, it vividly captures the 24-hour-a-day brand of circus magic and observes both the people and mechanics behind it. Like the circus itself, it hovers between comedy, sentimentality and the grotesque.
