What I Know

2013, 15 minutes

A story that takes the route of the grass is greener on the other side, but reveals that a sister's sympathy for her disabled brother originates from her own abusive marriage.

We become accustomed to the idea that BROTHER is the one who's life is bad, and the SISTER is a subordinate character to the plot, but in the reveal we find out that SISTER's life is actually worse. Both BROTHER and SISTER, although having a close relationship, and sharing the happiest times together, do not fully show their lives to each other, simply trying to keep the other one happy, but ultimately failing. We discover that a marriage can actually be more enslaving than being bound to a wheelchair. We show that being in a wheelchair does not change the everyday situations and feelings of life. In the failed relationship of SISTER we see that it can be that the dominated one in the relationship may become weaker as a result of the domination rather than retaliating.
