Reduce distance between nodes in circo layout

I have a graph with circo layout which generates some nodes (highlighted on the screenshot) too far from the root. I would like to reduce the distance between highlighted nodes and the root node in red square.

Graph definition is quite simple

digraph G {
compound=true
node [shape=box, fontsize=12]
edge [arrowhead=both]
normalize=true
mindist=0.8

I couldn't find any property to reduce the distance

In theory, the weight attribute should make some difference in edge lengths. In practice, no apparent difference.
There is an existing Graphviz issue about this (https://gitlab.com/graphviz/graphviz/-/issues/2198), so you are probably out of luck.
