His son, as a result of trauma received when an adult will bring all her rage to enroll in a circus as a clown and meet a beautiful trapeze artist, who has a love-hate relationship with another clown.
The fight between the two men will be terrible . ---
My opinion: Good film Álex de la Iglesia, undoubtedly his best work, course in the purely industrial aspect, but also in the plot, despite leaving, as is usual with him, in the hills of Ubeda on numerous occasions.
happens that the first half hour is gorgeous, strong, flawless from the viewpoint of visual and dramatic, with a feverish assembly and staging commendable.
However, house brand De la Iglesia, little by little the argument becomes more and more bizarre, with twists and turns that the viewer sura somewhat, giving the feeling of being completely without a preset course. Say that it seems that the Church makes room for his respects to his crazed characters who are letting them set the pace.
This is positive and negative at the time. Negative thinking is just that the film goes more or less positive because it is more fresh and free, without doubt, leaving the viewer to break at any time, likes, and much, by what happens.
A "comedy? very sad, that has its moments of laughter and many smiles, but that leaves you quite icy heart with an ending that leaves no room for doubt.
Excellent atmosphere, dazzling lighting and photography, and some great performances, but rather Santiago Segura, with a short but rich and important character takes over the soul of the story to be the leitmotiv of the protagonist.
An unusual English film that deserves not only respect, but viewing, which is much, much work in .
