Sister
Thursday 9:00 p.m., Regal 3 Downtown Mall
2012. France/Switzerland. 100 min. Director: Ursula Meier. Cast: Kacey Mottet Klein, Léa Seydoux, Martin Compston.
Simon lives with his older sister in a housing complex below a luxury Swiss ski resort. While his sister drifts in and out of jobs and relationships, twelve-year-old Simon takes on the responsibility of providing for the two of them. Every day, he takes the lift up to the opulent ski world above, stealing equipment from rich tourists to resell to the local kids down in the valley. When Simon partners with a crooked British seasonal worker, he begins to lose his boundaries, affecting his relationship with his sister and plummeting him into dangerous territory.
