Germany brings sisterhood to the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest. Duo S!sters, Carlotta and Laurita, are both on stage and on the LED screens behind them we see the two, along with other women, in a variety of relationships. The visuals stay true to the empowering message of the song.

S!sters will take to the stage in the Grand Final of the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday 18 May at Expo Tel Aviv in Israel.

S!sters is a duo that consists of Carlotta Truman (19) and Laurita Kästel (26). Both started singing at an early age and, since then, they have had numerous appearances as singers both in bands and as solo artists. Now they will represent Germany at the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv with the song 'Sister' after winning 'Unser Lied Für Israel', Germany's national selection show to pick the country's entry for Tel Aviv.

What happens on stage?

During the first part of the song, Carlotta, in black, starts to the left of the stage and Laurita, in a flower-patterned mini dress, is sitting to the right while the LED screens show clips of Carlotta and Laurita singing their anthem. As the song progresses, S!sters walk toward the front of the stage where they meet. Behind them, big letters appears on the screens with words such as 'SORRY' and 'RESPECT'.

At the climax of the song, behind a pyro waterfall, the images in the backdrop show a diverse group of women in various types of relationships, from friends, to family, to partners. In the end, Laurita shouts "Love your sister!" to the audience.
