Aprašymas
Based on a true tale, My Sister Sara begins in December 1948. The Leroux family stands on Cape Town's docks to welcome their newest family member, a blonde, blue-eyed war orphan that the patriotic family has "ordered" from Germany. The God-fearing clan falls in love with the bright four-year-old. Even stern Pa, an architect of Apartheid, is softened by the orphan's presence until a document arrives revealing a terrible secret. Everything changes. The truth must never come out. Pa swears the family to secrecy. Sara is fed and clothed but never shown affection again. And never told the reason why. Told through the eyes of her adoptive brother Jo, Sara's past underscores her present against the heinous backdrop of Apartheid in the 1950's and 60's. She must call on Anne Frank-like courage to resist her enemies, even those with the Leroux name, if she is to have any hope of self-determination and finding love.
