Soviet Union. Original title: Rassmeshite klouna. Vovchik is a history enthusiast. But he is devoted to his profession, which is that of a clown. Then, an ordinary woman, Ghali, accidentally enters the circus. Will Vovchik fall in love with Ghali?

This made for TV Russian movie is in 2 parts, totaling over 2 hours, and was set in a circus. It contains many scenes of juggling throughout, but most were simple 3 ball juggling of little interest. However, these 7 scenes stood out as exceptional.

At 0:02:26, Yevgeni Bilyauer practices juggling 5 clubs for 10 seconds.

At 0:12:08, for 27 seconds, Bilyauer performs some of his 3 club routine and his 8 ring pull-down started with a ninth ring balanced on his forehead.

At 0:25:15, Bilyauer performs some of his 4 club routine for 17 seconds.

At 0:56:44, Bilyauer practices juggling 5 clubs in front of a mirror for 47 seconds.

At 1:03:35, many performers are practicing at the same time, including one person standing on a raised platform bounce juggling balls, as Bilyauer juggles 5 clubs while running forward and backward twice and then starting backcrosses.

At 1:04:18, someone practices bounce juggling 5 balls while standing on a rola-bola, and soon after we see them performing this for an audience.

At 1:58:10, Bilyauer juggles 7 rings, 3 clubs, and then 5 clubs, seen for 11 seconds, all at unusual angles.
