very old european town circus people mad people a fable

Remake of Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (1920). Shot entirely on green screen. Some exact shots from the 1920 film were superimposed to properly replicate the original. Francis relates the story of traveling magician Dr. Caligari and Cesare. Their arrival in a town coincides with savage killings.

Francis, a young man, recalls in his memory the horrible experiences he and his fiancée Jane recently went through. Francis and his friend Alan visit The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, an exhibit where the mysterious doctor shows the somnambulist Cesare, and awakens him for some moments from his death-like sleep.

Kept locked inside the house by her father, 7-year-old Chloe lives in fear and fascination of the outside world, where Abnormals create a constant threat—or so she believes. When a mysterious stranger offers her a glimpse of what's really happening outside, Chloe soon finds that while the truth isn't so simple, the danger is very real.

Sardu, master of the Theatre of the Macabre, and his assistant Ralphus run a show in which, under the guise of 'magic', they torture and murder people in front of their audience. But what the punters see as a trick is actually real.

A travelling theatre company has more to it than meets the eye.

An Aesop’s Film Fables cartoon.

A traveling circus performs in a small town. In its arena there are famous masters - the Bear-athlete, the Poodle-juggler, and the Cat-acrobatic. But the Donkey suddenly became stubborn. I had to turn to the help of the yard Dog, who turned out to be a wonderful circus performer.

One of the traveling circus troupes in the Egyptian villages suffers from many problems due to the small number of spectators and its failure to keep up with the times. The son of the troupe owner, who has finished his studies, comes and tries to develop the troupe, canceling some shows and adding others. He faces opposition from the old members, but he succeeds with the help of all of them.

The plot consists of several parallel lines with flashbacks in time. These are the fates of heroes. Almost all of them work in the circus – whether it's the Ilyin family, or a boy working as an assistant who dreams of becoming a real circus performer. These are both happy and tragic fates (an acrobat's partner dies almost through his fault, in front of his eyes). The polyphony of feelings is further enhanced against the background of animals working in the circus – bears, donkeys, monkeys (each with their own character) and often similar to humans. Or the people on them.
