Sisters

Singer-songwriter Lou (Susie Yankou) and stand-up comedian Esther (Sarah Khasrovi) are inseparable best friends. They share everything from inside jokes to a deep curiosity about what it would be like to have a sister. Their codependent bliss is shattered when Lou’s father unexpectedly passes away, and Priya (Kausar Mohammed), a long-lost, very stylish half-sister, shows up to his funeral. As Lou explores her relationship with Priya, the newfound connection disrupts her bond with Esther and creates a growing rift.
