Twenty-six dead bodies lie hidden beneath white linen sheets that are gradually turning red with blood. A terrorist attack wipes out the entire farming village in Sri Lanka, along with all its inhabitants. Almost!
Two-year-old Thasara survives. One of the female terrorists refuses to kill her. At the same time providence ensures that her three-year-old big sister Niluka is not there. The two sisters, rootless loners grow up in uncertain circumstances in Sweden and France, adopted without knowing of each other´s existence.
Until one day.
Their lives unfold into dramatic and tumultuous family dramas that takes us straight into the 26-year civil war on the paradise island, where we meet a whole range of people shaped by the conflict.
Two Sisters is a story about shortcomings and the devilish dramaturgy of war. But also about the power of life itself, which can heal addiction and transform people. A power that opens up understanding and forgiveness when fate inexplicably intervenes with a helping hand.
