My Family and Other Clowns

Synopsis

For 25 years, Haide and Toomas, known as Piip and Tuut, have brought joy to people with their clowning. But as their global fame has grown, their three children are often left alone. Emma, their eldest, dreams of becoming an actress. But right now she’s playing the role of a caregiver to her younger siblings, which she struggles to balance with household chores and school. Following the family across five years, this documentary offers an intimate and tender perspective on the price of following one's dreams, and the burden that children often have to carry.
