West Germany. Original title: Feuerwerk. In 1908, a traveling circus is about to make an appearance in a small German town where Albert Oberholzer lives with his wife Iduna and daughter Anna. To their surprise, the director of the circus is none other than Albert's brother, Alexander. Being a respectable businessman, Albert prefers to keep this fact a secret. What's worse is that Anna is so enthralled by the circus, she plans to run away and join it.

At 0:28:00, during a 2 minute scene featuring many circus performers, 2 jugglers pass 6 rings, and someone is doing a devil stick, both seen many times.

At 0:33:30, during a banquet scene, someone juggles 2 plates in one hand while another spins 2 plates on sticks, both seen in the background.

At 0:38:55, a man juggles 4 balls in the foreground until Lilli Palmer steals one of them.

At 1:24:46, in a scene lasting just over a minute, 2 clowns juggle 3 clubs each, seen several times in the background, plus others spinning a plate and juggling 4 plates.

At 1:32:48, during a circus parade featuring many performers in the final minute of the movie, we see 2 clowns juggling 4 rings each, a plate spinner, and someone using a devil stick.

The entire movie may be seen here.
