SYNOPSIS (DANSK)
Gennem dage fyldt med gråd og grin, får publikum et unikt indblik i dagligdagen på Skejby Sygehus' børnekræftafdeling. I en periode på knap to år følger vi hospitalsklovnen Angus og den 6-årige Tobias, der er ramt af en aggressiv kræftform. De mange måneders gentagne indlæggelser og smertefulde behandlinger mildnes af Angus' tilstedeværelse. Med humor, leg og nærvær tager Angus og Tobias kampen op mod kræften: De duellerer i Guitar Hero, gør gangene usikre som maskeklædte banditter, spiller Uno og bestiller livretter, der inkluderer sovs - masser af sovs. Langsomt udvikles et venskab. Dette er en historie om at være helt alene, og at have nogen at være alene sammen med.

SYNOPSIS (ENGLISH)
“The Kid and the Clown“ tells the story of the relationship between a young boy Tobias and Angus, the hospital clown, as they spend days together at the cancer ward at a Danish hospital. It is a story about magic, bubbles and friendship, but also one of tears, pain and the unbearable feeling of uncertainty.
Like a hospital priest, a hospital clown has to deal with insufferable situations on a daily basis, and only through little tricks can Angus turn the roughest situations into games and joy. One of the children at the cancer ward is Tobias, who we follow from being initially admitted, through relapses and failed treatments, to being allowed to go home over a 1 ½ year later. Tobias is a precocious and sensitive six year-old by the time he falls ill and celebrates his 7th birthday at the cancer ward. At that age every month spent in a hospital is a lifetime. Angus the clown provides a safe haven for Tobias - he sees the world from Tobias' point of view.
