In the world of bohemian Paris where the pantomimes reign and the freak shows delight, a young boy finds refuge from his overbearing father and uncaring mother by escaping to the theatre. But when he realises one day that the famous sad clown of the mimes, Pierrot, is not actually a real person, he becomes determined to discover the actor’s true identity. A simple question becomes a quest, and to succeed he must face challenges of all kinds, from the shadowy alien creature that haunts the freak show to the fiery eyes of the Lady in Red, leading him to the most unexpected answer of all.
