Calimucho
Calimucho is a poignant, realistic portrait of Dicky, a young woman who must choose between her love for her brother in law Willy and his son Timo, whom she has cared for since her sister’s death, her love for Tarek, the young tent builder from Tunisia who is in town for the season, and her love for the circus life and her family. Calimucho is a mixture of cola and red wine: a cheap drink that can be consumed pretty inconspicuously – exactly what widower Willy needs to keep the past at bay.
