1937. The monkeys stay in their cages while, outdoors, men are killing themselves in another circus: the Spanish Civil War. The silliest clown in the circus was forcibly recruited by militants. He perpetrates a butcher with a machete among the ranks of the National Bann without taking off his costume. Just like that, Javier and Sergio who were two terrifying and disfigured clowns, face the death by the ambiguous love of a dancer during the era of Franco.
