BALTIC SEA DOCS – Mana ģimene un citi klauni/My Family and Other Clowns

Free tickets are available to school pupils, students, and pensioners upon presenting an ID.

➤ Sometimes laughter sounds the loudest when you least expect it. For more than 25 years, Estonian clowns Piip and Tuut have been bringing joy to children and families around the world, but everyday life is not always as fun as performing under the stage spotlights. While Piip and Tuut, exhausted, pack yet another suitcase, in a one-room apartment near Tallinn, their three children grow up on their own and yearn for the presence of their parents. Siim has autism, and older sister Emma takes care of both him and the youngest child, Anni.

➤ When the pandemic interrupts the marathon of performances, the creativity of Piip and Tuut becomes a force that helps adapt to change and not lose the ability to see joy. With heartfelt reverence, the film captures the fragile moments of everyday life that make up every family's relationships. A dose of smiles, deep affection, and valuable reflection is guaranteed for every viewer of the film!
