My Little Sister

Lisa, once a brilliant playwright, no longer writes. She lives with her family in Switzerland, but her heart remains in Berlin, beating in time with that of her twin brother Sven, the famous theatre actor. Since Sven has been suffering from an aggressive type of leukemia, the relationship between them has become even closer. Sven reflects her deepest longings and awakens in her the desire to be creative, to feel alive again.

Superb performances by Nina Hoss and Lars Eidinger ground the elegant arthouse drama. My Little Sister is a beautifully shot, psychologically astute family story.
