Sanna Lenken – director – My Skinny Sister

Director Sanna Lenken talks about her film My Skinny Sister, which is nominated for this year’s EFA Young Audience Award.

MY SKINNY SISTER: 12-year-old Stella’s big sister Katja (Swedish singer Amy Diamond in her screen debut) is a major figure skating talent. Her parents admire her and Stella looks up to her. But their mother is under a lot of stress and their father is preoccupied. Stella is the only one who really has the time to look close and see the truth; Katja isn’t feeling well. She is practicing too much and she barely eats a thing. Through the eyes of her desperate little sister (wonderfully portrayed by Rebecka Josephson, who is a real find) we follow a painful battle against a horrible illness and a family whose whole existence falls apart.

My Skinny Sister is a powerful and moving family drama about sisterhood and fallen ice princesses, with great acting through and through.
