What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Popolo, a magician full of spirit who works at a small circus, loses the legs of his beloved assistant Amabilé during the act of the woman cut in half. Of course, she gets mad at him, especially when they are both fired. To cheer her up, Popolo promises to pay her a vacation, but he needs to find a job first, any job.
