Welcome, ladies and gentlemen
My name is Israel
and I will take you to a fantastic world (CHILDREN'S VOICE)
populated by bizarre and mythological characters.
Back from successes across Europe
you will meet extraordinary creatures,
capable of memorable feats.
Because only at the Circo Mezza Piotta
imagination becomes reality.
And nothing ... it's as it seems.

(SCREAMING) Rome!
(RUNNING OF BELLS IN THE DISTANCE)
- (IN ROMANESQUE) What the fuck are you talking about? - You don't say "fuck".
New York, America. We're leaving.
- And U.S? - You come with me.
In Sicily we sell the cart and we embark.
What would it be like, we sell the cart? And the circus?
And the circus, eeeh ...
- I do not know. - What the fuck are you saying?
We just need the documents. For 300 lire each
they make them better than the originals.
- Three hundred lire? - 00: 15: 36,040 I fuck the best whores in Rome for a year.
- I'll line them up. - But when ever!
Let's decide quickly. Tomorrow they are waiting for me in via Caetani.
- With the 300 lire. - 00: 15: 49,499 Just to understand. Arrived in America, without a circus,
what are we doing? The "freaks" and that's it.
Fu, I'm tired. How long can I go on?
- The public loves us. - But if they are all dead!
Not even the marquee is left there.
But the war is about to end. Badoglio signed the armistice.
- The worst comes now. - The king has ...
But who, "Sciaboletta"? He ran away like a rabbit.
That's exactly what you ask us to do.
Why are we responsible for an entire country?
Let's join the German circus!
It's always full, they say Franz is smart.
Yes, the Nazi with six fingers. He is a crazy drug addict.
What would I do there? A Jew at the German circus.
- Is this a joke? - So what about me?
Israel! Did you look at me? Where I go?
In America they don't even make me wash the dishes.
You can be a shepherd dog, with all the sheep there are.
Shut up, dirty as you are they won't let you off the ship.
- What the fuck are you laughing at? - How ugly you are.
<CENCIO: Greta Garbo spoke.
It's easy for you: you are normal. And also for you.
Thing? I cannot touch you.
For us it is different. Without a circus we are nothing.
- It's not true. - Yes, fuck it!
Without a circus, we're just a gang of monsters.
(BREAKING GLASSES)
Quiet, Fu. In New York, I do the dishes myself.

It's nothing.

But that's nothing. - It's dangerous. - It's nothing.
(Scream) You don't have to touch me! 00: 19: 55,457 Matilda!
Come here.
You didn't do anything to me.
Did you understand?
You are special, little girl. You must be proud.
Special to do what? To turn on the light bulbs?
Eh?
You have a gift.
But I don't want it. I hate it. My God.
Fulvio is wrong: the only monster is me.
I don't want to hear this story anymore.
You have to make peace with the past.
- Why not? - Why not.
I know how it will turn out once we get to America.
- As? -Everyone leaves on his behalf.
And how can I do without you? I will not leave you ...
You are the most beautiful burden that has ever happened to me.
So we don't separate? - Nobody separates us. Not even the war.
But now let's go inside, my ass is frozen. - Away.
- <ISRAEL: Aren't you sleepy? - <CENCIO: We are hungry.

'This piece of shit screwed us and left alone.
- I gave him 300 lire. - And I don't?
- Three hundred lire. - What do you think?
Accursed Jew, he fooled us with a smirk.
Don't talk about Israel like that.
- He promised me. - You will understand!
He is like a father to us.
- Go trust the fathers. - Mine always beat me.
Mine locked me up in a cage for ten years.
At least there were the books.
Mine left me in front of a church under a beehive.
The pinches ... I was all a bubble.
And who saved you without expecting anything?
Huh? She saved you Israel.
MATILDE: If it wasn't for him, who knows where we would be.
- Who knows where he is now. - With my 300 lire!
Enough! It seems that you are talking about a brigand!
FULVIO: Worse.
Israel is a good person and loves us.
It is the drama of war:
turns the best men into the worst.
Let's make sure it doesn't happen to us.
Let's go find it, all together.
If we don't find it we go to the Zirkus Berlin, at Franz's.

Mmmh!

Do you see the gills? Can breathe underwater.

Give me another month. I'm almost there.
You've been looking for them for three years,
- I can't cover you anymore. - This time it's different.
It is embarrassing. The fort is used to relocate soldiers.
What good is it to you if you lose the war.
I am our only hope. They are our only hope.
The ether has burned your brain.
Germany will be razed to the ground.
There will be a trial in Nuremberg, you will be sentenced!
I see the future, Amon!
Me too. And I tell you, yours is 1500 kilometers from here.
You go home. I organized concerts for you.
Fuck the music. I want to be on the front line with you.
Take care of yourself, my brother.
- Hitler will kill himself. -You're crazy, he lowers his voice.
(WHISPER) He'll shoot himself in the head.
Farewell, Franz.
- Do it for our mother. - Stop that!
Amon. Please, you can't do this to me. I beg you.
Keep a shred of dignity.
- You are a German! - But you are my brother,
you can not do this to me.
(SINGHIOZZA)
You can not do this to me.
I'll give you an exact week, until the big show.
After that, if you don't find them,
you close the shack and puppets and you go. I got it?
Yup.
And play something new.

And you? Without Israel you don't know how to stay.
And you, who must find another master?
I have only one boss, the public who pays.
But if we separate what do we do?
Come with me. But clear terms: it's done as I say.
Turn down the hair! You don't give orders to anyone.

- Franz, the pianist. - Pianist? ... (laughs)
Oh yes. Franz.
Thank you. (METALLIC THUND)
In Berlin everyone would have listened to him play for days.
Poor fellow. He just wanted to be a soldier
like his father and brother.
But it has become a freak.
I am too, what's wrong with that?
But you don't have six fingers. Franz has six fingers,
and he wanted to fight.
- AND...? - They didn't make him do shit.
I was there, at the military medical examination.
The doctors laugh when they saw his hands!
Since then, (IN GERMAN) God only knows why,
(IN ITALIAN) thinks that there are freaks of nature
with special powers like him. When I'm not what he thought ...
... kills them. It is his gift to Hitler.
Supermen with him in charge.
Can you imagine it? Not me.
- My friends are with him. - Who?
- Him, Franz. - What do you want from me?
