Synopsis

Raised in Amsterdam by a gay couple, twins Sofie and Daan could not be more different. Sofie is an uncompromising workaholic with few close relationships; Daan, meanwhile, is a warm free spirit, but is married to a man who doesn't share her outlook on life. Despite their pronounced dissimilarities, the sisters have been able to maintain a close bond over the years, but when they receive an out-of-the-blue phone call from Jackie, the biological mother they have never met, personalities clash, values are tested, and cultures collide.

Critics' reviews

"Affable perfs from Holly Hunter and Carice van Houten ensure an enjoyable ride, though the screenplay succeeds only very late in the game in using the genre's obligatory road stops as believable conduits for character change."
