You Don't Say--the Script

When four estranged sisters reunite for supper at their aging mother’s house, personal grievances and political differences fade as they confront Mother’s devastating news.

Trigger Warnings: Contains revenge baguettes, knife metaphors, fecal incontinence (implied--not shown), and spaghetti western-like showdowns with deep vulnerability and Xanax.
