Carmen, or an Unfortunate Love Story of Hanspeter From Oberkassel, That Made My Children Happy in a Foreign Country (2022)
In the 1980s a middle class German boy falls in love with a travelling circus woman named Carmen, only to have his heart broken when she disappears. Trying to mend his broken heart, Hanspeter set up an amateur circus school in the backyard of his home, which became a refuge for the struggling kids. Nearly 40 years later journalist Yulia Vishnevetskaya crosses Germany in search of this fleeting woman who unknowingly created a powerful impact of a lasting legacy. A road movie with a flair of comedy and drama, this film is a tender reflection on the circus of life, love and the dying trade.

Thanks for the memories!
Disapointment
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
