After her father’s death, comedian Annie Louey finds his old briefcase and uncovers a decades old secret.

Inside are hundreds of black and white photographs, passports, letters and library cards belonging to two girls who looked a lot like her. It didn’t take long to realise her father had a secret family.

Angry he kept this part of their family hidden, Annie is driven to find her halfsisters and make peace.

She may be her fathers’ daughter, but unlike him Annie has chosen to live life like an open book. The standup comedian uses the stage to laugh off family secrets and uncomfortable truths.
