This satiric and contemporary homage to the 19th century Brontë sisters is set in the desolate and hauntingly beautiful English moors. Isolated within a gothic manor, two sisters and a talking dog are greeted by a gender bending governess triggering a dark comedy that is uniquely clever, uncannily funny, and ultimately unforgettable.
