EN - Three sisters are growing up together. Rosa is nine years old and admires her gifted sister Anna every bit as much as she feels incredibly jealous of her. She also envies her little sister, Helena, for the moments she shares with Anna and often feels like an outsider when she plays with them, which in turn makes her feel like withdrawing into her own little world. As Rosa tries more and more to be like Anna, tensions between the three sisters grow and Rosa's jealousy begins to take on a life of its own.
NL - Drie zusjes groeien samen op. De negenjarige Rosa bewondert haar getalenteerde zus Anna, maar is ook ontzettend jaloers op haar. Ook benijdt ze haar kleine zusje Helena voor de momenten die zij met Anna deelt. Hierdoor voelt Rosa zich dikwijls het buitenbeentje van de drie, waardoor ze zich vaak terugtrekt in haar eigen wereldje. Wanneer Rosa meer en meer probeert om net zoals Anna te worden, lopen de spanningen tussen de drie zusjes langzaam op en begint Rosa's jaloezie jegens Anna steeds meer een eigen leven te leiden.
