Tairo is a young lion tamer working for a dwindling traveling circus. As a child, strongman Arthur Robinson gave him a handmade horseshoe that became his lucky charm, guaranteeing his success—until he loses it one day. Thus begins Tairo’s journey across Italy to find Arthur and ask him for a new one.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

Slant Magazine by Diego Semerene
The film eventually replaces the captivating smallness of everyday life with an inconsequential drama.
The New York Times by Glenn Kenny
Ms. Covi and Mr. Frimmel’s Mister Universo is a disarming and humane picture, an unexpected delight.
A docudrama that in its early scenes feels like a documentary — the co-directors have a nonfiction background, and the actors are actual carnival performers — the film plays out like a small-scale fairy tale.
