Desired Child

2021 30min

My sister died several years before I was born. I only know her from old family photos and visits to her grave. Nevertheless, she was a present part of my life. I fantasized about her and was convinced I was her reincarnation. I thought a lot about whether I would meet the same fate as her - a death at a young age from a brain tumor. My film tells what my sister meant to me, my brothers and my parents, and what her death triggered in us.
