Our take

Based on the true story of a circus troupe of street children in post-Ceaușescu Romania, Pa-ra-da is the compelling debut from Marco Pontecorvo—Gillo’s son! Without shrinking away from the grim reality of child homelessness, this poignant and provocative fairytale is an enchanting proposal.
