O GRANDE CIRCO MÍSTICO

The Great Mystical Circus is the 18th feature film by Carlos Diegues, one of the most important names in Brazilian culture and filmmaking. Inspired by the poem by Jorge de Lima and with musical score by Chico Buarque and Edu Lobo.
The movie tells the story of 5 generations of the same family-owned circus. From the inauguration of The Great Mystical Circus in 1910 up to present day, viewers will accompany, with the help of Celaví, the master of ceremonies who never grows old, the adventures and loves of the Knieps family, from their prime through to their decadency, up until the surprise ending. A film in which reality and fantasy come together in a mystical universe.
