How To Kill Your Sister

"How To Kill Your Sister is a wise, patient, gentle series that knows that the warmest sunlight is not in summer, but in the memory of summer." - Humo ⭐⭐⭐⭐½
"How to Kill Your Sister has everything to charm. A family chronicle and an absurd road trip. Primordially Flemish and international." - Het Nieuwsblad ⭐⭐⭐⭐
"The road trip provides ample space to explore the dynamics of sisterhood and family life, as How To Kill Your Sister navigates a careful balance between comedy and drama." - Screenanarchy
"Finally, an eccentric take on loss and trauma processing, with a swinging script in which humour and sorrow alternate smoothly." - De Standaard ⭐⭐⭐

“We’ve barely been back together for three hours, and everything’s already falling apart”, Kat tells her sister Anna, still recovering from a chaotic carjacking in which she knocked out a mugger with a Buddha statue. It’s only the beginning of an explosive reunion that will change both of their lives forever.

After eight years of radio silence, Anna finds herself on the doorstep of her older sister, Kat. She’s in a car, with a coffin tied to the roof. Anna announces she is terminally ill and wants Kat to accompany her on her last trip to Spain. Along the way, Anna finally wants to find out why Kat abandoned her after the death of their parents.

The two estranged sisters set off on a hilariously dark road trip, doomed to derail. The closer they get to their destination, the harder it becomes to hide the secrets they both harbour.

"How to kill your sister is top-notch Flemish drama, steeped in dark humour and beautiful music." - VRT NWS
Jonas Geirnaert: “How To Kill Your Sister is an unfiltered exploration of how families survive, how secrets tear us apart, and how sometimes the most brutal honesty comes wrapped in dark humour."
Evelien Broekaert & Pedro Elias: “How To Kill Your Sister hovers somewhere between a nostalgic longing for a colourful past and the fragile hope for a more carefree future, an ode to the clumsiness with which we stumble through life."
