When she hears that her parents want to divorce her, twelve-year-old Karo flees home and secretly joins Circus Noël, where her friends Tonie and Victor work. This sequel to the AVROTROS youth series of the same name can be followed without prior knowledge, although newcomers are not given much time to get to know the characters. The screenplay exudes something easy-going anyway, with unnatural dialogues, strange twists and a big circus finale that is rushed out in a minute. Only the actors give the whole thing some charm.
