Info
Ignorance Is Bliss is about how a place, which has always been a safe haven, suddenly doesn’t feel like that anymore because of terrorist threats.
Lola rather stays confined within the careless world of a circus festival than to be confronted by uncomfortable news form the outside world. But when fear of an attack creeps into the festival, she has to find a way to deal with it.
