Jonas is a 13 years old boy and the dream of his life is to maintain the circus that he created in his backyard. Born in a travelling circus, his family decided some years ago to leave it behind and to settle down in a violent neighborhood on the outskirts of Salvador, in the North of Brazil. Jonas never was adjusted to the new lifestyle, so he created his own circus, a real one, in his backyard. But, to maintain it s is getting harder and harder. Jonas is growing up and adolescence imposes upon him mercilessly with thousands of new challenges. So, what do we do with our dreams when we grow up? The screening will be followed by a workshop on Afro-Brazilian dances by Andrea Ewerton and also a workshop on Physical Expression through music by Liliana Fonseca.
