Sisters
Lidia and Mariela are two old sisters who have always lived their relation on the thin boundary between love and hate. Lidia, cynical and reserved, has a Parkinson’s disease. Mariela is an outgoing and always active person, but she can’t manage her apprehension toward her sister, especially now that Lidia has made her mind up about treating her disease with a cannabis therapy. They are looking for a way to survive and accept themselves.
