Family Secrets and being sisters...for life

"Family is pain, you can't choose them and they mess-up your life. They make you celebrate for them even though you hate them. And you can't seem to get rid of them..." Ep.8

This is a family drama with a twist, at the heart of it is two siblings making peace with their past and their mother's secrets while rediscovering their relationship as sisters. Anyone with siblings will relate to the sibling rivalry that extends to stealing things from each other including things that shouldn't be stolen. Everyone seems to hate the concept of the sleazy, weak husband but the real story is the sisters' relationship and how they eventually find each other again. The poetry of bones, grieving, family secrets, and wanting to be seen and heard by the people we love especially our mothers. Discovering that your mother is a fallible human being.
The irony is how each sister thought the other one stole what they wanted or deserved in their own life. The spoiled one was starved of love and attention but the big sister was always there and she never noticed it. I'm glad they sorted it out at the end, and were able to be sisters again.
