Synopsis

Born as a human magnet, Lucien has a simple but hard life. He secretly dreams of a life as an artist, but his father does not allow him to show off his magical talent. On the run and away from home, he meets a small travelling circus. There he falls in love with Gervaise, the circus director’s daughter, and grows into a true artist. But when his father’s death calls him back to the old life, he returns to his village disappointed. There, nothing is as it used to be. Lucien is losing his talent and he no longer fits into his world. Only fate can help him now. . .
