Trailer

A luxury ski resort in Switzerland. 12-year-old Simon lives in the industrial valley below, with his jobless sister, Louise. Every day, he takes the ski-lift to the opulent ski world above, stealing equipment from the rich tourists to resell to the local kids back down. As he partners with a crooked British seasonal worker, Simon loses his boundaries, which affects the relationship with his sister. Confronted with a truth they had both been escaping, Simon seeks refuge up above.

As the director put it: „Sister tells the story of child who wants to go up in the world, in every sense of the term, he’s seeking physical, social and financial elevation. While the world down below is nothing but desolation, mud and fog — both literally and symbolically — up top is a garden of delights.”
