Plot synopsis

The film is in the form of a fairy tale, set in 19th century rural Germany, although location shooting was actually in Denmark. A young boy called Jonas Block ( Leonard Proxauf) loves the magical stories told to him by his father, Helge ( Rolf Becker), an impoverished fisherman. After his father dies, the orphaned Jonas is taken in by the austere clergyman Pfarrer Ekdahl ( Sylvester Groth), but is subjected to harsh discipline and neglect. When a travelling circus arrives in the village, the ringmaster, Grido ( Manni Laudenbach), befriends Jonas and teaches him to believe in the power of dreams and imagination.
