27th Festival International du Films de Fribourg 2013

Three Sisters guides us to Yunnan in a province in China. We follow the three sisters Yingying, ten years, Zhenzhen, six years, and Fenfen, four years, living under conditions of immense poverty. The mother disappeared and the father is obliged to work in a town far away.
The film shows with majesty and respect the reverse of globalization, the consumption and its consequences on the ones left behind, the most fragile members of the society, the children. The cinematic perspective discovers a world that confronts the precarious situation in the everyday life of the three sisters with their love, tenderness and a deep sense of responsibility between them.
