CIRCO is an intimate look at a family’s struggle to preserve the institution of their small traveling circus in rural Mexico. At once producers, performers, and roadies, the Ponce family—the driven owner-father, his questioning wife, and their dedicated children—forms the heart of CIRCO. Ostensibly a film about the entertainers and the inner workings of the circus business, broader themes are ultimately addressed (and questioned) that deal with the topics of family sacrifice and tension, loss of a normal childhood, commitment to tradition and excellence, and the value of passion for the preservation of a potentially-fading art form.
