Zwei Minuten
Synopsis
Following routine, Mai has prepared breakfast, made coffee and packed school lunches. While her mother can’t get out of bed, Mai tries to make sure her little sister Louisa has a perfectly normal morning. But the two need get to school, and time is running short once again. Under mounting pressure, Mai is unable to play the adult today. For the first time, it’s up to Louisa to step into that role. Feeling betrayed and abandoned by her big sister, Louisa bravely takes on the new challenge – even as the sisters’ otherwise strong bond threatens to cracken.
