Thicker Than Water

Synopsis

This film is set in the backwater of southern Louisiana. Michelle thinks that family should be thicker than water. But her mother and Sister have different ideas. She struggles to understand why the family breaks apart, why she feels she's not able to control her life and how she can find meaning in a seemingly meaningless existence. What she discovers is a bond with her Mother and Sister based on acceptance and humour.
