Three generations of women and girls prepare to perform at the Cuban circus in Havana, Cuba, each for different acts, on different occasions, but all under the same enchanting red and white striped tent, an otherworldly space which pulses with reflections on age, femininity, and dreams.

Tres generaciones de mujeres y niñas preparan una presentación de circo en La Habana, Cuba, cada una con diferentes actos y momentos, pero todas bajo la magia encantadora de la carpa de rayas rojas y blancas, en un espacio de otro mundo que las lleva a lidiar con reflejos propios de la edad, feminidad y los sueños.
