A thirteen-year-old girl lives with her mother and her elder sister Katia. Even though she lives in an extremely brutal environment — her mother, who drinks a lot, is a prostitute, while Katia becomes a stripper and starts taking drugs — the girl remains very innocent and naive. Neglected by those around her, she spends her free time tidying the family flat, filling in colouring books, and watching animal documentaries. However she mainly wanders the streets of Amsterdam, indulging her favorite pastime: people-watching. Through this complex character, “Katia’s sister” treats a raw and harsh subject with tenderness and a light touch.
