Upside Down

The story of Jan Ludvik, a circus performer who leaves the circus and goes back to the place from where he was expelled, versus the story of Jan Ludvik as a brilliant child, an exceptional character, a young man who does not obey the principles of collectivism and loses his position in society because of that. A story about the rise and fall. The crowd is a force that draws everyone towards it, towards the average, like gravity. But the circus is a place where gravity does not apply...
