TWO SISTERS, ONE DANGEROUS LIE,
AND A DEVASTATING TRUTH.

Joan, once a singing star of the 1940s and 1950s, now ekes out a lonely, impoverished existence - until a chance encounter promises a comeback concert and an album. Her sister Kathleen is a successful medical researcher who has been offered the directorship of a prestigious institute in Los Angeles as she contemplates the recent break-up with the love of her life.

Over the years, Joan and Kathleen draw closer together until a figure from Joan's past threatens everything they've built. As the sisters excavate the lies that bind them, a more profound truth threatens to drive them apart.

Set in the Druze area, this title presents a declaration of love for tolerance and for the peaceful coexistence of the many religious groups that live there in close proximity. The Druze baptise their children and celebrate Christian holidays; however, the priests regularly collect money to build houses for Muslims and Druze alike.
