The Story

A man and a woman meet two thousand years ago. His name is Jesus, she is Odona. Today he is a gypsy in a travelling show, he buys the big wheel and goes on rides and rides till his heart's content. Odona is a juvenile delinquant; she saves her soul thanks to the love that Simon, a police inspector, and Pierre, an auctioneer, have for her. Then the day Jesus and Odona see each other at the airport, they finally recognize each other, knowing that they will love each other forever and ever more.
