An exploration of sisterhood in the midst of global crisis, this really does convey the weight and feeling of what it means to be a sister, the grudges you carry, the way you know one another and the ways it makes moving past the start of something that began in childhood so difficult once you're an adult. And of course a family legacy out of your control.
