Spiros, a motorcycle acrobat of the Circle of Death, lives a nomadic life together with his family, his caravan, and a few acrobats who often abandon him. His dad was a legend of the Circle of Death and so were his uncle and his grandfather – a family tradition for over 50 years! Will Spiros manage to make ends meet, and, furthermore, is this vanishing profession going to get a second wind? Are his sons willing to take the wheel? A human portrait of an old-school lover of speed in a rapidly changing world.
Spiros is the last remaining motorcycle acrobat performing in the Circle of Death. He lives a nomadic life with his family, his caravan, and a team of riders who often abandon him. His father was a Circle of Death legend, as were his grandfather, uncle and brother - a family tradition unbroken for over 50 years. In today's uncertain Greece will Spiros manage to make ends meet, and will this vanishing profession get a second wind? Are his sons willing to take the wheel? A human portrait of an old-school lover of speed and risk in a rapidly changing world.
