Laura Wilder (Rosemary DeWitt)
Laura is Sebastian’s sister and is frustrated by his way of life.
She’s firm: there’s nothing romantic about not being able to pay the bills, and tries to get him to grow up and earn a steady wage.
She’s even trying to hook him up with a date—she thinks he lives like a hermit.
Her life seems to follow the more conventional path and we see her getting married and then—in the section ‘Winter’ five years later—we see her with a young child. In Sebastian’s eyes she has no respect for jazz or its magic.
She doesn’t understand his obsession and particularly doesn’t understand him hanging around the Van Beek club just to imagine what it could one day be, telling him it’s stalker behavior.
