Description:

A young French boy is sorely embarrassed by his father's antics in a clown suit; his father is not a good clown, he's just painful, and his son wonders why he insists on these humiliating performances. Then one day a close relative tells the boy a story about his father, taking him back to the dark days of the Second World War. A tale of how an act of courage had tragic consequences, how hope reaches even the hopeless, and how a clown helped to honour the dead and the past.
