This is a celebration of relationships that sustain life. An animated mix from my experience of my sister, fragments from her film script, family stories, photos, Facebook Messages and gifts of heartfelt art. Born in Melbourne in 1946, my sister Nadya was a writer, artist, dancer, joker, oldest resident of what was once called Beechworth Lunatic Asylum. She lived all her adult life as a Ward of the State of Victoria. She died in Beechworth in 2022.
