After being able to lead a largely independent life despite her mental disability, Resi (59) has been living in the local retirement home in her hometown of Kössen in Tyrol for a few years now. The unconventional Gini (61) is Resi's sister and guardian, but also her closest ally in the family. Their indestructible humour holds the two sisters together, even though there would be every reason to lose heart. In March 2020 Resi died of a Covid infection.
