Oleg Popov helps to tell the story of the Moscow State Circus School.
GALYA, an attractive acrobatic dancer, and IGOR, a trainee clown, were among the 80 students who graduated in 1974 to join the Soviet Circus as professionals. Galya and Igor are followed during the final months of their training as they prepare for perhaps the most exacting and demanding career in show business.
