Brus

Director: Merel van Kesteren
Feliz is new at school. To fit in, she tries to hide the fact her sister has an intellectual disability. In this coming-of-age story, she slowly loses sight of what truly matters.
Every day, the introverted Feliz rides her bicycle to school against the wind through green meadows, while her sister Nan cheerfully waves at her from a passing bus. When Feliz struggles to make new friends, she fears her chances will drop even further once her classmates find out she has a sister with Down syndrome. Caught between responsibility and reckless choices, Feliz learns a painful lesson in this graduation film: Fitting in can break more than being left out ever could.
