Vojta, son of a circus director, seeks his own voice beyond the seven-generation legacy he was born into and expected to inherit.

Growing up in a marginalized community of traveling circus performers, adolescence is anything but ordinary. For Vojta and his brothers Nikolas and Venca, childhood means being seen not as kids, but as professional performers expected to master dangerous stunts, from aerial tricks to knife-throwing acts. Their nomadic lifestyle shapes every relationship. Constantly on the move, they catch fleeting glimpses of the world but struggle to form lasting connections. Friends come and go, replaced by online followers. The one stable force in his life is his immediate family, to whom he clings tightly. Desperate for approval, he initially follows their path, training hard to meet their expectations. But tradition can be a heavy inheritance.
