My Little Sister

Lisa (Nina Hoss) is a Berlin playwright who has stopped writing and moved to Switzerland, where her husband Martin (Jens Albinus) runs a private school. Her twin brother Sven (Lars Eidinger), an actor, is seriously ill with leukaemia, and she goes back to Berlin to be near him, which puts her marriage under strain. Stéphanie Chuat and Véronique Reymond keep Lisa's face in close view, a woman holding herself still beside her brother.
