My Very Own Circus

The film tells the story of Laura, who has always been on the road as an assistant to her father, a professional clown. But at 13, she wants a more stable life and most of all, wants to go to school regularly. And, maybe, also to oppose her father.

With bright images, sets and scenes full of poetry, the director unfolds a scenario full of humour, twists and turns, sorrows and small victories. Thanks to the friendship of a neighbour and the kindness of a teacher, Laura will be able to continue her studies without losing the fantasy of her previous life.

The film was awarded for showing the difficulty of being a parent and letting children live a different life, and making the observation that we can love each other without being alike.

The jury is appointed by SIGNIS, the World Catholic Association for Communication, and INTERFILM.
