Sister.

Ursula Meier · Crime · 2012

"Sister," directed by Ursula Meier, is a compelling and deeply moving film that explores the complex dynamics of family ties and survival through the eyes of a young boy, Simon, who resorts to stealing from wealthy skiers at a nearby resort to support himself and his sister, Louise. Set against the stark contrast of the opulent Swiss Alps and the siblings' impoverished reality, this film poignantly illustrates the lengths to which one will go for family, underlining the themes of resilience, loyalty, and the blurred lines between right and wrong. Meier's direction brings out the raw emotions and the silent understanding that bonds the duo, making "Sister" a significant cinematic piece that challenges our perceptions of kinship and societal divides.
