Sisters July and September share a deep bond despite their differences. September is fiercely protective and wary, while July is open and inquisitive. When a troubling incident at school forces them to escape with their mother to an old holiday home, a series of eerie and surreal events begin to unravel their relationship in ways July struggles to understand. In this unsettling exploration of family ties, actor-turned-director Ariane Labed casts a haunting spell for this mesmerising adaptation of Daisy Johnson’s novel ‘Sisters’.

Screening followed by an in-person Q&A with novelist Daisy Johnson.

Reviews

‘An unsettling modern fable that’s fired by the tension between the siblings’ claustrophobic bond and their surreal interactions with the world at large.’
