Sisterhood

Johana has just turned eighteen and is ready to leave for university, eager to carve out her place in the world. But her path to independence is anything but simple. At home, life revolves around her younger sister Roza, who lives with atypical autism and an intellectual disability. Johana is more than a sister — she’s Roza’s confidante, playmate, and caregiver.

As the day of departure approaches, excitement gives way to a growing sense of guilt and responsibility. Can her parents manage without her? And more importantly — will Roza be okay without her closest companion?

This intimate coming-of-age documentary is a tender portrait of sisterhood, sacrifice, and the quiet strength of love — not only for others, but also for oneself.
