Actors: Esther & ElvireSinopsis: "Love is to speak gently and to lie as hard as you can". This film is a life chronicle of two sisters in their seventies where reality constantly surpasses fiction. It took six years to shoot this document on the everyday life of Esther and Elvire, ‘popular heroines' with utterly surreal language and humour.
Bio:
Richard Olivier films the peculiarities, revolts, shouts of anger, and tenderness that this secret country (Belgium) inspires. His work depicts a country which dissimulates its identity by cultivating the kind of folklore where self-derision and outrageous kitsch happily coexist.
