Synopsis
Spiros is the last remaining motorcycle acrobat performing in the Circle of Death. He lives a nomadic life with his family, his caravan, and a team of riders who often abandon him. His father was a Circle of Death legend, as were his grandfather, uncle and brother – a family tradition unbroken for over 50 years. In today’s uncertain Greece, will Spiros manage to make ends meet, and will this vanishing profession get a second wind? Are his sons willing to take the wheel? A human portrait of an old-school lover of speed and risk in a rapidly changing world.
