Who isn’t from circus community is called „chrapoun“.. The visit in family Kaiser reveals some aspects of life of circus community which can still represent for us something strange, unknown but also attractive. This short film focuses mainly on language specificity which is also connected with a problem of differentiation of circus community and with a question about intergenerational translation of circus slang.
