Experiencing Interruptions?

Rosso Papavero

Once upon a starry night, a small boy with the head full of fantasies witnesses dreamlike circus performances.
Dazed by endless chain of glittering attractions he realizes that the price for a ticket to the fantastic circus tent is too high and gate between reality and dream is closing.
