L'enfant d'en Haut
Sister
Director Ursula Meier 97min, M
Mon 21 Jan 2013 - Sun 3 Feb 2013
In English and French with subtitles
Hustling tourists at a nearby ski resort to survive, 12-year-old Simon searches for a life beyond the margins. Echoing the style of the Dardenne Brothers (The Kid with a Bike), and with moments of tender humour, Sister is a compassionate film about the world’s invisible, forgotten ones. An emotionally resonant, bitter-sweet story of innocence lost and a yearning for motherly love, evocatively shot in the Swiss Alps.

Quietly devastating in parts, beautiful on whole and destined to make you fall in love with a practiced and entirely amoral preteen thief. TIME MAGAZINE
