Katia's Sister
Directed by: Mijke de Jong
Starring: Ian Bok, Fred Goessens and Jennifer Jago
Synopsis: Some people find her removed from reality. Her older sister Katia even thinks she's stupid. But this is only a first impression, perhaps the result of her subconscious desire to remain a child. Or perhaps, her strange behavior is a defense against the uninspiring life she leads, a cruel existence shared with her sister and mother. Having emigrated from Russia some years ago, her mother tries to build up a life in Amsterdam and is drawn into the world of prostitution.
