Sister

About This Movie

Sister is this deeply introspective documentary that really gets under your skin. It follows two identical twins, Astrīda and Rasma, who have this haunting bond shaped by their past. After enduring the trauma of deportation to Siberia and a childhood that was anything but normal, they exist now in this small, almost claustrophobic flat in a Riga suburb. It's a film that breathes with a slow, deliberate pacing, letting you absorb the weight of their shared history. The atmosphere is heavy yet intimate, and the performances feel raw and genuine. The sense of isolation they embody—really makes you think about identity, connection, and the scars left by history. It’s distinctive in how it explores sibling dynamics through trauma, rather than traditional storytelling.
