Description |
Two wildly different sisters, Menan, shy and conservative and Rita, out-going and unpredicatble, haven't spoken to each other in years. Now in hospital with a life threatening illness, Menan looks back on a life of lost opportunites, when out of the blue the outrageous Rita shows up, turning everything on its head. The estranged sisters go on a humorous, heartwarming and sometimes painful journey of reconciliation as they learn to forgive and accept themselves and their troubled past. |
