Alma and Edit are twin sisters. Edit doesn’t eat, she disappears into the forest, walks on the ice before it’s safe, and at the age of nineteen, she dies.
A few years later, Alma returns to the house in the forest where she and Edit grew up at times. There, their foster father Askild awaits along with a difficult decision.
Sick Sister is about an illness that consumes the living, and about the deceased who have something they want to tell.
