This is a tale of an ordinary man facing extremists. Like any other person he can look the other way or take them on.
DIRECTOR STATEMENT
This is a film about extremism. The clowns in the story represent an ideology which has no understanding or acceptance for any ideas or values, other than their own. In most cases, extremism isn't really about ideology, but rather power and money. In this story the clowns are worried about the magicians taking over the childrens birthday market in the area, leaving the clowns without work. The Clowns talk about their work being superior to the magicians and argue that magicians should not be allowed to work at birthday parties.
