During World War II Carlotta, the circus owner maintains herself, her lover and her rather run-down circus-team by illegal man-smuggling. In the year of 1944, besides the usual refugees, she even has to take Professor Máté, the renown mathematician to the Yugoslavian partisans. The team is joined by Carlotta's psychotic son who has escaped from an asylum. The traveling circus is just a cover-up for the real Circus Maximus: Carlotta is a German agent, as well as the "American parachuters" that "accidentally" join them. All that is changed, however, by the unexpected death of Carlotta's son. At the end of the journey, the woman gives herself and her collaborators up to the partisans. (official distributor synopsis)
