Oleg, a 60-year-old clown and illusionist, together with Dato, a Spiderman, are a two-men-circus troupe. They travel around remote villages performing for the local schoolchildren. At some point, Oleg feels the urge to pass his knowledge to a younger generation, so he decides to find and raise an apprentice. The idea is strongly opposed by his wife Anaida, who thinks that it is a futile undertaking.
