== Plot == Fandango is the director of a traveling circus consisting of a small group of performers. However, a clear conflict exists between the director and several of the artists. One point of contention involves the elderly clown, Papa, who is forced to serve as a human target for an archer struggling with severe alcoholism. Many of the other employees demand that this dangerous act be cancelled.
The situation shifts when a young man named Jannik arrives at the circus and takes over Tove's job. Jannik possesses skills as both a pickpocket and an imitator, and he quickly falls in love with Tove.
