A moving cinematic experience about loss, courage, and moving forward

Four minus three will take place on June 22, 2026, at the Schauburg Filmpalast, right in that quiet zone where pain, memory, and hope intersect. The film tells the autobiographical story of Barbara Pachl-Eberhart as a finely balanced drama that does not display sorrow but makes it comprehensible through human closeness.

A story of rare emotional power

Barbara and Heli live a warm, loving family life with their two children, characterized by clowning, lightness, and the art of not immediately labeling failure as misfortune. Then an accident tears everything apart. What follows is not a pathetic abyss, but a precisely observed path through grief, which is based on Barbara Pachl-Eberhart's autobiographical template and makes visible the inner movement of a woman who is reconstructing her life.

Direction between tenderness and clarity

Director Adrian Goiginger opts for a restrained, unflustered staging that does not overwhelm the pain with grand gestures. Instead, an intense stage experience unfolds on the screen, carried by precise acting, sensitive dramaturgy, and a visual language that allows for intimacy. Critics highlight that the film consciously avoids idealization and thereby touches deeply.

Valerie Pachner carries the drama with great presence

At the center is Valerie Pachner as Barbara, whose performance fluctuates between control, fragility, and inner alignment. Alongside her, Robert Stadlober and the ensemble unfold a familial warmth that makes the later loss feel even more intense. Audience reactions to such themes are often quiet, focused, and lasting - therein lies the power of this film.
