The film is delightfully strange. According to IMDb, it's categorized as a "documentary," and its original runtime was considerably longer than the version circulating today (105 minutes), as the initial cut included zoophilic scenes (taking advantage of the circus setting), animals copulating, and even a violent reenactment of a famous gang rape of a young woman. It also included a series of interviews with the actresses at the end, offering their perspectives on the circus world and sexuality in general. This is why the film was initially considered a "documentary." All of this was removed by the Danish Censorship Board in 1975, citing "indecency." However, it remains a little-known gem.
The plot is intriguing: the circus is about to close its doors. The public has lost interest in acrobatics and animals in favor of a pornographic film industry that now floods theaters worldwide. So desperate acrobats, clowns, and lion tamers—all real circus performers—decide to strip naked during their acts, employing live eroticism to survive. Fueled by the passion they display in public, the performers also ignite their own desires in the privacy of their caravans, leading to a closer and more passionate connection afterward, free from inhibitions and restraint. It's all rather bizarre, but very intriguing. BTW, sex is real. They're all porn actress, including dwarfs. Animals, I don't think so...
