VERA is a feature documentary following the summer tour of five college students and their sideshow, Circus Vera. In an attempt to revive and preserve the American sideshow, Circus Vera's show holds true and even parallels 10-in-1 sideshows of the 1920s - '40s, but also adds a modern and theatrical style. However, living in the close quarters of a tiny truck trailer in brand new environments for an entire summer makes backstage an entirely different world. Business and friendship coexist and conflict, and expectations are twisted in the process.
