The story

Fénix is a child magician in a Mexican circus, Circo del Gringo, run by his father Orgo, a knife-thrower, and his mother Concha, an aerialist. The circus includes a tattooed lady who performs with Orgo, her adopted daughter Alma (a deaf-mute mime and tightrope walker whom Fénix is infatuated with), Fénix's dwarf friend Aladin, a troupe of clowns and an elephant. Concha also leads a Folk Catholic cult whose patron saint is a girl who was raped and had her arms cut off.
