Camille, a teenager with Down syndrome, dreams of dancing in a semi-professional dance troupe. On the day of the audition, her sister Agathe witnesses how the world still stumbles over difference. Love and rage find their own choreography.
Zoé achieved her first critical success with the web series DOMINOS, winner of Best Digital Series at Canneseries. Her debut short, LUNE (2020), premiered at Clermont-Ferrand and screened at more than 40 festivals. In 2021, she participated in the TIFF Filmmaker Lab. Her second short, GABY LES COLLINES (2023), was selected at the Berlinale's Generation Kplus and TIFF.
"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.
