Sanna Lenken’s Swedish drama wins best film in the Berlin Film Festival’s Generation Kplus section.
My Skinny Sister (Min lilla syster), from Swedish first-time feature director Sanna Lenken, has been named best film in the Berlin Film Festival’s Generation Kplus section.
The Sweden-German co-production centres on Stella, a girl entering adolescence who discovers her big sister and role model is hiding an eating disorder.
Awarding the Crystal Bear, the jury said: “The film’s unique perspective, stunning performances and challenging theme really touched our hearts.”
A special mention was given to Rainbow (Dhanak), an Indian film from director Nagesh Kukunoor.
“This year, we chose a colorful, touching and humorous film,” said a jury statement. “The story and the performances of the young protagonists impressed us deeply.”
In a reversal, the Generation Kplus international jury gave My Skinny Sister a special mention and its Grand Prize - worth €7,500 - to Rainbow.
