When her father, Marco (Maurizio Donadoni), is killed in a tragic car accident, the circus caravan travels to Spain, where several gypsy fortune-tellers explain the mysterious art of shape-shifting and the responsibilities it entails. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

Donald J. Levit, ReelTalk Movie Reviews
A flawed but effective dark parable of loneliness and love.

Mark R. Leeper, rec.arts.movies.reviews
This story has all sorts of fantasy possibilities, but unfortunately few of them are realized in the film.
