Four Minus Three

by Adrian Goiginger

Based on the incredible true story of an exceptional woman and her bestselling novel. A Hidden Life's Valerie Pachner delivers an outstanding performance in this deeply emotional love story and ode to precious memories.

Barbara and her partner Heli are professional clowns, living out their dream of an alternative, joy filled life with their two children, laughing at what doesn't work out. But when a tragic car accident takes Heli and the children, Barbara is left alone. In the face of unspeakable loss, her belief in humor, hope, and humanity is put to the ultimate test. Can her way of seeing the world — through both its light and shadow — help her find a way back to life? She bets she'll laugh again.
