"I've had my suspicions for a while. But now I know the truth. Someone has replaced my sister with a girl that looks a lot like her..."
And so a young girl sets out to find out exactly what happened to her sister. Who is this new sister? Why does she never want to play anymore? For anyone who has ever felt left behind, Simona Ciraolo, paints a touchingly sweet portrayal of the transience of childhood and how adolescence and growing up can be a truly mystifying experience.
