After the death of their ill-tempered and controlling father, two middle-aged sisters find themselves at a loss. An unexpected visitor sparks the courage in them to finally begin living by their own rules. Having had its world premiere in the Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes, Daughters of the Late Colonel by Elizabeth Hobbs is an irreverent animated adaptation of the eponymous 1920 short story by Katherine Mansfield about breaking free from the shackles of parental cruelty.
