    Capricious Summer

    A sleepy spa village is excited when visited by a circus acrobat and his beautiful assistant.

    Oddly amusing little comedy whose main virtue is its inimitable period setting and somewhat chekhovian atmosphere; though the wayward eccentricity of its characters is also something to experience.
