Four minus three at filmforum: A touching stage and film experience about loss, courage, and hope
On Sunday, April 19, 2026, the filmforum in Duisburg invites you to an evening that does not rely on light effects but on great emotions and precisely told humanity. Four minus three, based on the bestseller by Barbara Pachl-Eberhart, condenses a life between love, clowning, and radical loss into an intense cultural event that resonates long after.
When silence becomes louder than any word
The film tells the story of Barbara and Heli, two clowns, whose joy of life initially seems like a protective space. Then, in a single accident, the familiar order shatters. Director Adrian Goiginger does not develop a pathetic fate drama from this but a sensitive portrayal of grief work, memory, and the fragile power of moving on. This makes the evening particularly appealing for an audience with an appreciation for demanding theater atmosphere and strong acting.
Between clowning and existential tragedy
Four minus three connects comedy and pain, lightness and crash, without smoothing over the seriousness of the material. The cinema stage becomes a resonance space for what moves people at their core: family, identity, speechlessness, and new beginnings. Robert Stadlober gives Heli a warm-hearted presence, while the literary source by Barbara Pachl-Eberhart lends the material an extraordinary authenticity.
A cinema location with a cultural profile
The filmforum at Dellplatz is much more than an ordinary cinema. As a municipal cinema and film historical collection of the city of Duisburg, it stands for curated cultural work, reliable program quality, and a concentrated audience response, which reveals its full value, especially with emotional material. Its location in Duisburg's city center, good public transportation connections, and parking options around Dellplatz make visiting uncomplicated.

Conclusion: An evening that demands heart and stance
Four minus three is a film for everyone who wants to experience culture, not just consume it. The mixture of literary source, sensitive direction, and great acting promises an evening full of resonance. Those seeking touching narrative cinema with depth should experience this performance live at the filmforum.
