Director's Statement

"That's my sister" is a love story.
‍
Léalie, the screenwriter, poured all the love she feels for her sister into this film, the love shared by her two young daughters, the love her cousin shares with her sister with Down syndrome.
To tell this story, I wanted to create a luminous and imperfect world by capturing the two sisters on film, in a suburb suspended in time. I wanted to present Camille's character as the sun of the film, Agathe as the moon, and for there to be an exchange of light between the two. I hope that people will be touched by them and recognize themselves in the complex and moving bond they share.
