Better Together
"The Holiday" meets "The Parent Trap" in this clever comedic whirlwind brimming with romance, and just a touch of magic.
Estranged sisters Jamie and Siri are quarter-life crisis-ing: hard. With adulthood breathing down their necks, suddenly their promising career aspirations feel way out of reach, and romance -- completely implausible.
After thirteen years apart, on opposite coasts, the sisters run into each other at a nature retreat. Desperate for a change of pace, they decide to go home in each other's stead to see how the other half lives.
It doesn't take long to realize: swapping lives might be more than they bargained for. Turns out, pretending to be a sister you hardly know can really complicate your previously nonexistent love life. Navigating their new surroundings proves to be a precarious task, but turns out there's no better way to learn about yourself than by trying to live as someone else.
Target age group 12-18
