The Other Sister background

The Other Sister

The movie follows a young woman with intellectual disabilities as she strives for autonomy by securing her own apartment and pursuing higher education, all while her family prepares for her sister's wedding.

Carla Tate, a young woman with mental challenges, is "graduated" from her training school, hoping to be accepted for her newfound independence. However, her wealthy family's misguided intentions to provide for her beyond her needs lead to conflicts. Despite her limitations, Carla's determination to be self-sufficient, including living in her own apartment, is remarkable. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she meets a young man with similar mental challenges, who inspires her to break free from control.
