My Sister Lola

My Sister Lola

2022 · 11 min · ★ 7.0 · Drama

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.

At times you find yourself on a dark road in a deep black valley. It is hard to orient yourself. You vaguely recall who you are, but it is hard to completely grasp, you have to lay down to dissolve into the ground. We all contain darkness. A door to a strange place, where the world falls apart and becomes unrecognizable. A floaty reality, almost dreamlike. How do we respond when we have to face our own fears and mortality, and is it possible to find tranquility within the world of our nightmares?
