"What are Sisters For?"

SYNOPSIS

"Ever since Amelia could remember, when she grew up, she wanted to be just like her big sister Laura. Now the pair have grown up. Laura's flat is cold, most of her dinners come out of tupperware containers, and she spends an alarming amount of time looking through gossip magazines and watching The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Amelia is moving to Wellington to study (and to be closer to Laura). However, when the sisters reunite they are confronted with past truths and family secrets that can't be kept hidden forever. Wallflower Productions presents: "What are Sisters For?" an intimate storytelling of a relationship between two sisters - this coming of age tale navigates isolation, grief, and a shared childhood. But, underneath this family's feud there is a friendship worth preserving."
