Having broken away from his family's famous circus 20 years previously, Alexandre Bouglione, founded Romanes, Europe's first gypsy circus troupe, in 1994.....

Françoise Lebrun and Stéphane Ginet's film is the portrait of a man whose life has spanned the golden age and decline of traditional circus and the rise of New Circus. As we follow his circus from its Paris base out on tour in Brittany, Alexandre tells his Bohemian life story with the help of his writer friends Lydie Dattas, Jean Grosjean and Christian Bobin.
