Entre deux sœurs

To Be Sisters | Unter Schwestern
In their world, two sisters make one. The older one gives the younger one a hand, and together they twirl through the playroom, zoom up and away on their bikes, or spin around on a swivel chair. Wherever they appear, the white pages of the animation are filled with contours and colour. When the younger one is able to move around without her big sister one day, it becomes clear what inclusion can lead to. The roles are reversed, but everything remains the same.
