In the city of St. Petersburg, 8,500 children live on the streets. But the innovative circus Upsala with its charismatic director Larissa is giving some of those children a chance to leave all that behind them. A journey from the Russian slums to the lights of the big top and the joys of a tour to Switzerland, the documentary follows half-orphan Danja, street kid Nastja, and restless Igor, son of a single mother unable to cope with her four children.
