The fairytales of Giambattista Basile take center stage, from the sordid tale of the Queen of Longtrellis to a king who's obsessed with an enormous flea. Three distinct storylines are followed, held together in place by the street circus family that provides a brilliant backdrop. With characters that are larger than life, but still all too human, we receive glimpses of the inner lives experienced by both royalty and regular people, as well as the common desires that unite them.
