Circus Tuomento is a documentary about Finland’s most famous tightrope walker, Antti Tuomento (b. 1968). After the tragic end of his circus career, he focuses on building his own city. About a dozen fascinating, organic buildings have been made in his garden. The city has a museum, church and a theater. This private city is a piece of art, but its main function can be seen in Antti’s attempt to take fate into his own hands – and to build an entire alternative world.
