The author belongs to a big 'travelers' family. Her great-grandfather was a fairground announcer in the trade fairs of the early nineteen hundreds. Her grandfather was a famous acrobat who worked in circuses and theaters all over the world. Her mother was born and raised in a carnival caravan. She broke the tradition, though: she is in fact the first among her family to choose a completely different life path. The documentary aims to rediscover the author's origins through a personal journey that intertwines itself with the collective history and the evolution of popular traveling show-business. Written by
