    Mijke DE JONG 2014 The Netherlands Fiction color 89min Dutch DCP
    Mouse gathers her sisters Ted, Carlos and Lian around her when her lung cancer is stated as terminal. Between loving gestures and endearing attempts to make the most of life while it's still there, rough edges of the sisters' characters are uncovered. They deal with the upcoming death silently, painfully honest, together and alone. Frailer tries to grasp their journey by exploring the boundaries between fiction and reality. It captures the way we face death and shows the anguishing realness of an involuntary farewell.
