Me and My Sister

Louise, a small town beautician in Le Mans, comes to Paris to spend three days with her sister Martine. Louise has written a novel and has an appointment with a publisher which may change her life. On the surface Martine, beautiful and aloof, has everything - except what really matters. And what really matters, Louise has. Rejected by their alcoholic mother and forced to lead independent lives at an early age, Martine has consciously worked to cultivate an air of sophistication and bourgeois respectability. Her seemingly comfortable life, however is far from ideal. Trapped in a passionless marriage, she has become increasingly exacting and hardened to the people around her. In three days, Louise and her natural happiness drive Martine absolutely crazy...
