- Synopsis
- Sworn friends Victor and Tonie (each 12 years old) of Christmas Circus Noel are thrilled to find their circus was selected to enter in the prestigious international competition in
  the Walloon city of Durbuy in the Belgian Ardennes. They secretly sent in an application for Circus Noel and they are determined to make every effort to win. The fact that Tonie's father, circus director Pedro Canelli isn't very keen bemuses them. But it gets even weirder when, on their way to Durbuy, Pedro purposefully stalls the circus company, making them late.Their spot in the city has been taken by somebody else, so they're left with a remote area in the woods where they're sure to attract not a single visitor. When the circus tent nearly well collapses and Pedro cancels everything, the boys, aided by Karo (12), the girl who came along as a stowaway after running away from home, decide to figure out what's going on. They discover a big secret: Pedro has a brother that lives in the area. Long ago they formed a world famous duo named the Flying Fire Brothers, but something went terribly wrong and they vowed to never see each other again. Diony Canelli is a bitter and angry man holed up in some remote place. The three youngsters make a plan to reunite the brothers to attract an audience and save the circus. However, in order to do that they not only have to make a dangerous trek through the snowy Ardennes, they also have to convince Diony. Will they manage in time?
