A darkly comic, visually inventive portrait of sibling dysfunction and family pathology that balances absurdist humor with genuine psychological unease.

The buttoned-down, superstitious Kay is attempting to lead a normal existence with her new boyfriend Louis. That’s until Sweetie, her rampaging, devil-may-care sister, returns home after an absence, exposing the rotten roots of their family and placing a strain on Kay and Louis’ relationship.
