Synopsis

After 8 years of silence, Anna finds herself on the doorstep of her older sister Kat in a car with a coffin mounted on the roof. Anna announces she is terminally ill and wants Kat to accompany her on her last trip to Spain. Along the way Anna finally wants to find out why Kat abandoned her after the death of their parents.

The two estranged sisters set off on a hilariously dark road trip, doomed to derail. The closer they get to their destination, the harder it becomes to hide the secrets they both harbor.

Note from the artistic direction

How to Kill Your Sister succeeds where many others would have failed: tackling the very delicate subject of the end of life with raw emotion without ever falling into pathos. The series brilliantly blends humor and tragedy through the impromptu road trip of two sisters, expertly played by Marjan de Shutter and Emma Rotsaert. From the landscapes of Flanders to those of Spain, the duo shines in an adventure where laughter meets trauma. A subtle balance, a carefully crafted script, moving and genuinely funny, making it a true festival gem.
