The Pearce Sisters
UK 2007, 10 min
An amusingly bleak-hearted tale of two weather-lashed old spinsters. Lol and Edna Pearce live on a remote and austere strip of coast. They scrape out a miserable existence from the sea. The Pearce Sisters is a tale of love, loneliness, guts, gore, nudity, violence, smoking, and cups of tea.
