As Tu Vu Ma Soeur - French Version
"The marginal space of the city: the factories, the old buildings, the abandoned shops. In the street, the degenerate and the disempowered gather to make it through another day. A little girl walks by...she is a stranger here. Somebody approaches and demands: "What are you doing here?". The little girl, shy but determined, responds: "I am looking for my sister".
Produced, directed and animated by Antonio Cerdán with the support of the Conseil des Arts et des lettres du Québec, the Société de développement des entreprises culturelles (SODEC) and the National Film Board of Canada’s l’Aide au cinéma ndépendant (ACIC) program. Looking for my Sister fuses animation, word and sound in a poetic way to draw attention to the many women who are subject to high rates of violence because of their gender and/or race and their involvement in the sex trade. It also portraits the hopeful but also frustrating experience their families face when trying to find their missing loved ones.
