What happens
My Very Own Circus (French: Mon cirque à moi) is a 2020 Canadian comedy-drama film directed by Miryam Bouchard. The film stars Jasmine Lemée as Laura, a young girl who has spent years living an itinerant lifestyle with her circus clown father Bill (Patrick Huard) and his stagehand Mandeep (Robin Aubert), but longs for a more conventional and stable life; she is given an opportunity to chase her own dreams when her teacher Patricia (Sophie Lorain) recognizes her academic potential and helps her to secure admission to a private boarding school, challenging her relationship with her father. The film was inspired in part by Bouchard's own experience as the daughter of a circus performer, although she has clarified that it should not be interpreted autobiographically. The film premiered in theatres on August 14, 2020. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
