My little sister

Switzerland's entry to the Oscar race, the film presented at the Berlinale moves every single nerve in those who watch it. She, a dramaturg in a writer's block, living in Switzerland. He, a successful actor in Berlin. The two twins (the brilliant Nina Hoss and Lars Eidinger) get together because of his fulminating cancer, from which only a donation from her can save him. A reunion at a difficult crossroads, where not only life and death are at stake, but also the creative impulse like a vital source: He being unstoppable even before the abyss, and she being in a disturbingly long-lasting state of coma.
