A gay circus has been touring around Chile for 40 years, setting up in cities and towns with its drag queen show. Created by the legendary comedian Timoteo, the circus is a refuge for a whole community, in which they also carry on their day-to-day lives feeling the acceptance of the clan led by Timoteo. The documentary portrays the life of the comedian at a crucial time: his health problems have produced uncertainty about the future of the particular world he has created for himself and the members of his circus.
