USSR. Original title: Korol manezha. The story of Gosha, a pampered circus bear that becomes lost in the woods and must learn to survive in a hostile environment. Meanwhile, his trainer Kolya and a search party must finally give up looking for Gosha as the winter sets in. The bear eventually comes to terms with his new environment and learns to fend for himself, but never really forgets his beloved Kolya.

At 0:38:39, Eduard Abert, playing Artur, the juggler, juggles 5 clubs in the background, while Gosha foot juggles something that looks like a missile. A few seconds later we see Gosha foot juggling again from a different angle. Seconds after that, Abert is seen again, juggling 3 clubs in the background. Shortly after that, Abert briefly juggles 3 clubs in the foreground as he walks away.

At 0:41:55, Abert practices 3 club kickups for 10 seconds.

At 0:59:50, Gosha foot juggles a log that he found in the woods for about 15 seconds.

At 1:03:08, Abert juggles 5 clubs for about 11 seconds, starting with high triple spins, dropping to double spins, and then going back to triples.

At 1:04:20, Abert bounces a ball on his forehead and juggles 5 rings.
