A documentary about young girls who are forced to work in a circus in India. Most of them come from Nepal and were sold by their parents to the circus owners. Fifty of them live in an isolated part of the circus site where, apart from the old nightwatchman and a dwarf, no man may enter. Despite their difficult life, there is room for love.
