In several episodes, Babooska tells the story of the daily struggle of modern nomads in Italy. In the course of a year, it follows the young artiste Babooska, who runs a traveling circus with her family, on her odyssey through remote villages: it is a glimpse behind the scenes of a microcosm at the margins of society, beyond common clichés, without commentary and interviews.
