While her peers deal mainly with completing school, relationships and plans for the future, 18-year-old Johana must reconcile her own dreams with taking care of her younger sister Róza. The Other One provides a sensitive insight into the lives of so-called glass children – healthy siblings of children with a health disadvantage. In Róza's case, this means a form of autism that requires constant supervision from those closest to her.
The film tracks Johana during the formative final years of school in a small town. This intimate debut film focuses chiefly on her, showing her inner dilemmas and daily struggle to balance personal ambitions with family responsibilities. A sensitive look at relationships, the film opens the topic of the invisible burdens of “glass children” and the need to support families who have children with disabilities.
