«Pan-European coproduction (Czech Republic-Finland-Luxembourg-Slovakia) with an international cast led by Finnish actress Kati Outinen, a favorite of Aki Kaurismaki. A dramatic comedy set in the world of the circus about a trio of clowns who reunite, 40 years after their separation, to try to put together one last show as a final farewell. This film, directed by Viktor Tausz (creator of the award-winning cult series ‘Zrádci’) was selected by the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in California.

Oskar, Max and Viktor, once a superstar clown trio split up over a heartbreaking fight. Now they’re paying the price of thirty years of separate grueling lives on and off the stage. Their irresistible sense of humor is challenged by the proximity of the physical end and other joys of old age.
They‘re about to risk everything to find out whether there really isn‘t one more show left in them, a re-staging of the famous clownery that launched the group‘s career while also facing the hardest challenge yet: clowning their way out.
