Glasgow Film Festival Next to Her

Real-life experiences have inspired this intense, subtly handled exploration of an unhealthy symbiotic relationship between two sisters. Security guard Chelli (Liron Ben-Shlush) devotes her life to caring for her disabled sister Gabby (Dana Ivgy). The women share everything but when Gabby is enrolled in a day care centre she begins to claim a degree of independence. Chelli seems to retaliate by falling in love with her colleague Zohar (Yaakov Daniel Zada) who becomes a part of the family. Jealousy, resentment and insecurity all combine to reveal the suffocating co-dependency between the sisters.
