Schwestern

Freedom, recognition, love and an independent life: Three sisters encounter each other in the tumbling around within the worlds of different desires. But their dependence on each other keeps them caged in and forces them into confrontation with one another and with themselves. What does it mean to be needed in the kind of way that doesn’t allow any compromises? What about the other extreme, when one’s own life is totally dependent on the other? The striving after integrity, completeness, and freedom breaks familiar patterns. The longing for freedom becomes a demand to the detriment of others. Who or what can satisfy the desires of the three sisters? The identity of the individual disappears in the construct of the nuclear family.
