Vojta, the eldest son of a circus director, bears the weight of a seven-generation legacy as his curiosity about the outside world clashes with the traditional nomadic life he’s destined to inherit.

Film Vojta will be a time-lapse portrait of a young performer Vojta, who grows up in a circus in Slovakia, where children are prepared from an early age to become artists, although the future of the circuses in general is very uncertain. Vojta is a talented performer and the son of the director of the circus Lánik. We will follow him for seven years, from the time he was twelve years old, through puberty, and till the coming of age. His life is not dramatic, but he experiences the minor failures and disappointments that the life of a traveling comedian brings. We want to observe his transformation, but also the transformation of his way of life over several years before he became an adult.
