In the countryside of Brazil, the itinerant circus owned by Valdemar, aka the clown Puro Sangue, travels from village to village to bring happiness to the dwellers. Valdemar's son Benjamin, aka the clown Pangaré, does not have any document but his birth certificate and dreams on having a fan of his own. Benjamin decides to leave the circus in search for his identity, to settle down in a small town with a steady job and raise a family of his own. However, he returns to the life in the circus with his dreamed fan.
