Colombian Film: EL CIRCO FANTASÍA | Proimágenes Colombia

Synopsis

The Fantasy Circus is the tale of an itinerant circus whose center ring act features a seven- year-old illusionist, Sebastian, the son of the circus director, Mateo. The boy’s talent arose when he was only one, after the death of his mother Sofia, a circus acrobat. As a result of the fantastic tales spun by Mateo in order to conceal her death from the boy, Sebastian developed the amazing ability to imagine and create illusions featuring Sofia that were so real that he was capable of sharing them with others. One day, the circus arrives in a small village, and Sebastian and Mateo meet Lucia, a beautiful girl who is extremely adept at levitation. When they ask her enthusiastically to join the circus, Lucia decides to escape the fate her mother has in store for her: to marry the village big-shot against her will. As the three flee the town that night, a dramatic, action-filled adventure starts to unfold, playing out the film’s main conflict: the struggle between childhood, love, and fantasy, on one hand, and the lust for power and ambition on the other.
