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 half-sisters and make peace.

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