Hettikánia, a circus empire, is preparing for a jubilee: the thirtieth anniversary of Luigi King's rise to power. The former circus director, tuned to the heart of his blessed people, has made the country bloom: rose plantations everywhere provide work for all, and the grumblers now grumble only to themselves or abroad. A hard day lies ahead for the ringmaster of Hettikánia, full of an almost-affair, a snappy interview and the festivities, in a satire of an absurd circus dictatorship that its narrator insists has little to do with any real future.
