Private Project

Upside Down Cake

Adele, 58, practically raised her sisters and she knows something’s not right at Dolly’s house. Of
course, she doesn’t know her own husband is gay or how to handle the cab driver flirting with
her… Besides, with Dolly’s husband dead, she needs to focus on her still single sister, Marion.
Marion keeps disappearing next door to see that lesbian potter, the one who brought them
“brownies” after the golf course refused to be the final resting place for Dolly’s husband. Like a
replay from high school, the morning finds the older sisters concealing men as Marion walks in
from next door. Impulsively Dolly seizes the day; and her husband’s ashes. Her attempt to flush
them, well, it backs up. Joining together to solve problems, they see each other, and themselves
differently. Shame doesn’t rule them anymore and with the help of their new beaus, they finally
get Dad’s recipe for upside down cake right.
