Note: This is a French movie with English subtitlesSynopsis
On an isolated farm live Betty and her 10-year-old son Tommy.
Young Tommy has never met his father before; his mother has always told him that she didn’t know who he was. So Tommy convinced himself that his father was actually an astronaut and his mother never told him otherwise. Each night he sits and watches the sky waiting for him to return. Tommy rarely sees his mother happy and he would love to see a smile light up her face, but how? One day he discovers that a circus is coming to town. But, due to legal technicalities, they are forbidden to set up their tent in the town! Certain that he has found the solution to his problem, Tommy seizes the opportunity. He succeeds in convincing his mother to welcome the circus onto their property. The caravans come in and set up in the field next to the farm house. But another problem arises: Bingo, the man in charge of transporting the main tent got lost along the way, and without the tent, there cannot be a show!
While all the performers are waiting for the tent to arrive, Tommy gets the opportunity to learn a little bit about the joyful life of transients. Slowly, love begins for two lonely hearts.
