You will be left in tears, the images of clowns will never leave your mind, and you will regain your faith in humanity. An ode to precious memories, Four Minus Three tells a deeply emotional love story based on the incredible true story of an exceptional woman. Barbara and her partner Heli are professional clowns, living out their dream of an alternative, joy filled life with their two children. But when a tragic car accident takes Heli and the children, Barbara is left alone. In the face of unspeakable loss, her belief in humour, hope, and humanity is put to the ultimate test. Can she find a way back to life? She bets she'll laugh again.
