Synopsis

Elizabeth and Sonya share a senior’s citizen apartment, only because they are sisters by blood and have no other family members. As sisters, through their lives they have hated, loved, loathed and cherished each other. Just because of their advanced ages is no excuse to rehash their past over and over, but they make sure they do from the first thing in the morning to the last goodnight at bedtime. The centre of all their conversations revolves around Edmond. Though he has passed on, he seems to be constantly there among them. Intertwined between these three octogenarians, as they relive the sad, humorous, disappointed and happy moments in their lives, there is a love triangle. Old folks can be funny, serious and touching at the same time. You will laugh and cry then laugh again
