Our Island

Lennah Koster • Netherlands • 2019 • 16 min
On an uninhabited island in the province of Noord-Holland, sisters Shanna (11) and Mirte (14) enjoy their time together differently. Although they do the same things, their experiences and conclusions are different.
Mirte has Down's syndrome and, although she is older, her sister comes to realize that she is outgrowing her little by little. While Mirte is living in the moment and playing with the constant use of her imagination, Shanna spends her time patiently and thoughtfully, realizing that she won't be with her sister forever.
Recommended for understanding the idea of resilience.
