West Germany.  Original title: Feuerwerk.  In 1908, a traveling circus is
about to make an appearance in a small German town where Albert Oberholzer
lives with his wife Iduna and daughter Anna.  To their surprise, the
director of the circus is none other than Albert's brother, Alexander.
Being a respectable businessman, Albert prefers to keep this fact
a secret.  What's worse is that Anna is so enthralled by the circus,
she plans to run away and join it.
 
At 0:28:00, during a 2 minute scene featuring many circus performers,
2 jugglers pass 6 rings,
and someone is doing a devil stick, both seen many times.
  
At 0:33:30, during a banquet scene, someone
juggles 2 plates in one hand
while another spins 2 plates on sticks, both seen in the background.
  
At 0:38:55, a man
juggles 4 balls
in the foreground until Lilli Palmer steals one of them.
  
At 1:24:46, in a scene lasting just over a minute,
2 clowns juggle 3 clubs each,
seen several times in the background, plus others spinning a plate and
juggling 4 plates.
  
At 1:32:48, during a circus parade featuring many performers in the
final minute of the movie, we see
2 clowns juggling 4 rings each,
a plate spinner, and someone using a devil stick.
