My Sister Lola

Overview

An improvised personal project about identity and becoming an adult. A kind of summer diary where the younger sister Maria observes her bigger sister who lives in an unreachable realm of her own. The film has a playful approach to its language and was inspired by the director’s younger brother Christian – who as a child made several little fragmented films while being bored during a summer in the country side. A film about a secret language between sisters, the magic of small moments and naive self discovery.
