Storyline

Two halfsisters learn how to handle with life, ex husband, family and each other.

HALF-SISTER is the story of two estranged half-sisters from the coastal town of Izola. After many years of barely seeing each other, they are forced to share a small apartment in Ljubljana. These two women who want nothing to do with each other deny accepting any similarity between them. Eventually, though, they uncover what they are both refusing to understand.
 
The film is about people who are incapable of showing affection. It shows that the way we communicate with each other reveals our true desires, fears and frustrations and how arrogant and aggressive behaviour often conceals our own vulnerability.
