USSR. Original title: Borets i kloun. This is the story of two famous Russian circus performers who become friends, and then travel together on their paths to glory. We witness their kindness, loss, and resilience, closing with the happy ending the audience has been hoping for since the characters first came on screen.

At 20:52, someone is practicing his juggling, seen in the background for 26 seconds, starting with juggling 2 rings in one hand, and then briefly trying to juggle 4 rings.
