action
12-year-old Stella stands in the shadow of her older sister Katja, who is adored by her parents as a talented figure skater. The sisters actually get along very well, even if Katja rarely has time for Stella and there are occasional arguments. When Stella falls in love for the first time, she realizes that something is wrong with Katja. She finds out she has anorexia, a disease that can cost lives. Instead of involving the parents, Katja forces Stella to keep silent. The more Katja loses weight, the more Stella is torn between loyalty to her sister and concern for her. When she learns from the school psychologist that her sister's life is threatened, she confides in her parents. But those who have always been more concerned with themselves are overwhelmed by Katja's anorexia. Because they don't seek help in time, it almost comes to a catastrophe.
