The mentally handicapped girl Jersomina was sold by her mother to the vagrant artist Zambano and started her career as an actress. Zangbano, who is crude by nature, lacks the sense and emotion of ordinary people, and is also very rude to Jelsomina. The two of them are acting all the way, and Jelsomina, who is tired of this kind of life, escapes by taking the opportunity of Zangbano to find a woman for the night. On the road, I met the "fool", a wandering entertainer who performed a tightrope walker. At this time, Zangbano chased him and captured Gersomina back. The owner of the acrobatic troupe took a fancy to Zangbano and the "fool" and asked them to perform on the same stage in their troupe. After the performance, "The Fool" played the piano and attracted the attention of Jersomina. She was immersed in the sound of the piano, but the "Fool" didn't want to cause trouble, and always kept her distance from Jersomina. One day, "The Fool" wanted Gersomina to perform with him and attracted Zambano to fight with him. As a result, Zambano was put in jail, and the "Fool" was also fired. Gersomina wanted to make peace. The "fools" walked together, but the "fools" asked her to stay and wait for Zambano to be released, but Zambano, who had walked out of the prison gate, saw Gersomina without any expression. The two continued to wander around and perform, and Jersomida was in love with Zambano for a long time. One day, she asked Zambano if she could marry her, but Zambano ignored it. On the highway, Zangbano encounters a "fool" and the two fight together again. The "fool" is beaten to death. Gersomina can no longer bear the blow. She does not eat or drink, and Zangbano does not want to take it anymore. As she was on the road, Gersomina took the initiative to take off the rags she usually sleeps in, while Zambano wrapped her old clothes and put them next to her and drove away. Many years later, Zangbano went to a small town with the circus, and accidentally heard a song that Jersomina had sang. She followed the sound and found that it was a young woman singing. She told Zangbano, Jelso Mina passed away shortly after arriving in this small town. In the night, Zangbano came to the deserted beach, howling and crying like a wounded beast
