A grey morning, a yellow taxi, a red scarf. And the circus begins... Let yourself be carried away by the beauty of the images which tell, without words, the adventure of a taxi driver who tries to catch a customer who has just forgotten his scarf. The colourful and dynamic images take us on a wild ride through the acts of a circus. The album will charm children and adults alike, who will return to childhood for a moment.
