Synopsis
In a post-apocalyptic wasteland, Boss runs the Circus Tresaulti, whose performers are kept alive and extraordinary through mechanical bones and copper joints. The circus is a refuge from the warlords who rule the ruins, but its secrets — and the rivalries among its performers — threaten to tear it apart.
