At the beginning of the 20th century in Madrid, the owners and guests of the boarding house 'La Universal' decide to set up a traveling circus company to travel through the province and survive the great economic crisis caused by the loss of the colonies, political corruption, unemployment, and social unrest. Antón Ozaeta and Eulalia, the owners of the boarding house, along with a lawyer with no future, a retired traffic cop, a tarot reader, a teacher, an anarchist, a kind-hearted prostitute, two orphans, and a dog make up the colorful main cast of this choral novel. Humor, intrigue, friendship, optimism, and love are the threads that intertwine in this story that is as surprising as it is entertaining.
