Sister, What Grows Where Land Is Sick?
Director
In a small town in northern Norway, Eira tries to follow in the shadow of her brilliant and rebellious older sister Vera. Lately however, something is happening to Vera. In a bid to understand, Eira starts reading her diary. She enters Vera’s universe of intense light, glitter, mythology and hopes for a more beautiful world. Yet her diary reveals a darkness that leaves Eira confused. I was 13 when my sister became ill. Ten years later I see an individual’s mental health in a wider view of our society. What is sane in times of crisis? How can we create a more beautiful world? – Franciska Eliassen
