汉伯托马戏团

This Czech television series chronicles the lives and careers of acrobats, animal tamers, clowns, and other performers associated with the Circus Humberto, tracing its narrative from the mid-19th century to the dawn of the first independent Czechoslovak Republic (1918-1939). The series is inspired by the renowned novel by Eduard Bass. The novel was pivotal in the anti-fascist resistance movement, as the author possessed a visionary perspective that transcended the grim realities of war and Nazi occupation, envisioning a future devoid of fascists, racial prejudices, and nations holding others in disdain. The series delves into the personal odysseys of six successive generations of the esteemed Humberto family, whose destinies were inextricably intertwined with the circus ring and its transformative power over their lives. —CeskaTelevize.cz
