A ten-year-old girl accidentally discovers she had a sister who died two years before she was born. That girl was the French writer Annie Ernaux, who received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2022. Suddenly, Annie was no longer an only child, but the replacement for a great absence that lives on in her parents’ wordless sadness. Her sister had to die so that she could live as the “replacement”. A delicate piece about guilt, family, and loss.
A Toyota Stellenbosch Woordfees production.
