The Pires family have been circus performers for generations. The father is a magician, the uncle a tamer, the mother a tightrope walker, the daughter an equestrian, the grandfather a musician, the grandmother an acrobat… The Pires circus is just waiting for the youngest, Nico, to find his calling.

The whole family is worried about him, until the day his cousin Mayumi gives him an unexpected present…
