On a winding mountain road, Vittorio stops to help Kate, whose car has broken down. After gallantly making the repair, without a single word spoken, he speeds off. When their paths cross again, Vittorio learns that Kate has returned to join her family's traveling circus after leaving under mysterious conditions many years ago. Intrigued by her story, Vittorio stays for the show, and the next one, and little by little is integrated into the circus and the lives of its performers.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

The Circle of Broken Plates submitted by BickfordT on July 8, 2011, 4:54pm Another story about a person who needs to heal but needs a push in order to do it. I forgive the movie for dragging and having a few awkward characters since it was so very different than any other movie I'd ever seen before. We follow a circus thru several small towns at the base of a mountain and the scenes are dreamy and magical. I LOVED the performances.., not necessarily the acting, but the traveling circus acts. They were the best. I particularly liked the tightrope walking scene, how lovely.
