Rebellious 13-year-old Anastasija (Emma Skirmante) and her younger sister Diana (Gerda Aljena) live together in an overcrowded Latvian orphanage. While Diana is excited by the news of their pending adoption by a wealthy American couple, Anastasija acts out in defiance, clinging to the hope that they can be reunited with their biological mother who has recently been released from prison. The award-winning feature debut from Latvian writer/director Linda Olte, SISTERS "adroitly navigates that liminal space between childlike vulnerability and bullish independence" in a moving film highlighted by "strong naturalistic performances from its young cast" (Screen Daily).
