The pathetic grace that the Nazis found in the humiliation of the enemy seems camouflaged by Samsonov as a terrifying documentary by the trick of narrating it in Russian and listening to the Germans mock and order atrocities in this degrading circus show; a show, in effect, that must continue without causing the slightest amusement; a clown named Red, Polish, in half anguish, another White, no less unhappy, also without his doll; some Belgian trapeze artists depleted little more than the starving horses they chase, a Serbian fire thrower but one day, Masha, the occasional trapeze artist and person in charge of cleaning the animals, hears their Russian language in the crowd. Not content with subjugating the cultural mosaic of prisoners under the tent, the Germans take their cruelty on the horses, mistreating them and whipping them until Masha intervenes to prevent further whippings, risking her life; says the narrator: (When a slave begs the foreman to punish another slave). Sometimes, the narrator says, they forgot that it was a prison and they were prisoners. But is there time for a brief illusory escape? I don't know, the mime shows steps and gestures to Masha in the stables and what is heard in the background is the piano that emerges from the darkness. At the first warning that people want to intervene, the Nazi Commander barely returns the hat and attacks the animal tamer. How could the showman or tamer of the circus have hidden his shame, if he were the Commander's compatriot, but what can two Germans talk about? One from Bavaria, another from Munich. It was difficult for him to bleed bitterly because the Germans do not know how to contain the hatred that they themselves inflict on others. And so he broke his head with the butt of his gun. And of course, the German spectator should not be bored, so a number of their slaves throw a doll at them for their depraved amusement in the makeshift box. If there is a belief that redheads don't die, Masha puts on the clown mask. The clown says goodbye to the other clown. The commander starts the shooting and everything freezes, the narrating voice says "let these people continue living their triumph, happy as they were at the hour of their triumph, when they thought they were free and happy enjoying their art.
