Paradise Descends

synopsys

A small quiet village in the Portuguese countryside is surprised by the arrival of a Circus: Circo Paraíso. With it arrive: jugglers, acrobats, clowns, trapeze artists, contortionists, dancers, musicians, illusionists, animal tamers, but also bumper cars and cotton candy. Everyone’s initial enthusiasm is replaced by apprehension when they realize the circus people are stranger than they appear and unusual phenomena begin to happen.
