Gunna is driving a lonely mountain road when she suddenly runs out of gas. Luckily she sees a car parked a little further by the roadside. Clueless, she doesn´t notice that Jon, the driver, is planning a suicide, but asks him for help. Their acquaintance leads to a new turn of events.
This film tells the story of itinerant circus performers, cabaret acts and fairground attractions, showing rarities and never-before seen footage of fairgrounds, circus entertainment, freak shows, variety performances, music hall and seaside entertainment, chronicled from the 19th and 20th century.
