When his poor Ukrainian parents sell him to a fast-talking circus promoter named Caruso, ten-year-old Barbu thinks he's moving on to a fabulous new life. But the minute the boy arrives in Berlin, he learns that Caruso is nothing more than a hustler. Things only get worse when Barbu hears that his sister has been sold into prostitution. Can he save her before it's too late? There is nothing redeeming about this film.
