A 60-year-old wandering jester - Oleg Tavadze - is left with only two members in his troupe, both of them older than him. The elderly Jesters are no longer able to entertain the audience. Their tricks have not been performed on Tbilisi circus stage for two years and neither the director of ''Shapito'' seems to be in favour with them. Their sole way to survive is to hold performances in some desolate villages. In order to save his troupe from being dissolved, Oleg decides to find a young jester, who will have to replace an old jester.
