Synopsis

In a working-class London suburb, we explore the family unit of two vastly different twenty-something twin sisters - Natalie (Claire Skinner) and Nicola (Jane Horrocks) - and their parents, Andy (Jim Broadbent) and Wendy (Alison Steadman). While they think they know everything about each other, a shock awaits them when long-kept family secrets get revealed.
