Film description

Cirkus Columbia, a romantic saga set in a small town in south Herzegovina, takes place at the end of a century that heralded the arrival of a new era in the Balkans. After years of communist rule, a new democratic government is elected, and Divko Buntic returns home and starts a series of little revenges after years of exile. He comes back with a new wife who is forty years younger than he is, a new Mercedes, and loads of money. For a while, it looks like Divko is winning and that money can achieve everything. But then, life takes the upper hand and war starts knocking on the doors of the small town.
