De film volgt een eeuw lang de levens van de Knieps, een Oostenrijkse familie van circusbezitters. Het betreft vijf generaties van deze familie. De nimmer oud wordende Celavi overloopt de periode van 1910 tot het heden. Aan bod komen de avonturen en de liefdes van de Knieps, van hun bloei tot hun verval.
Nee, helaas is O Grande Circo Místico nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
