I've read and searched, can anyone help me?

Given 4 unique and non-coplanar points (A, B, C, & D) in space (3D) what is the
simplest way of defining the surface that would result from a film being
stretched over a frame composed of four sides (AB, BC, CD, & DA), or that frame
being immersed and removed from a suitable liquid for bubble making?

I think a hyperbolic paraboloid would be about the right shape, but that hasn't
yielded a reasonable result thus far.
