Imprisoned for a crime that he did not commit, a circus performer escapes and “kidnaps” his son from the orphanage where he had been sent.
This social drama and crime thriller is occasionally tinged with a humour that makes it even more unusual. The episodic account is enhanced by superb lighting and visual effects that were truly inventive for their time.
