SYNOPSIS

Gabriel is the narrator and he expresses his feelings for Blanca, her adopted sister. He cannot stand her, he thinks their parents just care about her. He is jealous and he also acknowledges it. Everything changes when he discovers Blanca’s secret: when she was really young, she worked in a kind of circus show in China. She was too old to be adopted and she was rented for the public to have fun. A Chinese circus, The Great Dragon Circus, comes into town. Are they the same ones Blanca sees in her nightmares? Have they come to take her away? Facing that danger, Gabriel puts his jealousy aside. Blanca travels to her painful past and he has to be by her side to help her.
