The Clown of God: An Old Story

The story is based on an old French legend and takes place in Italy. It follows the journey of Giovanni, a young orphan who learns to juggle and becomes famous for his performances. Over time, Giovanni's skills decline as he ages, and he eventually becomes a beggar. However, during Christmas, he performs one final, spectacular juggling act for the Christ Child, leading to a miraculous outcome.
