Badly beaten, Ljilijana has to go into hiding. Together with her successful sister Sanja, she disappears into her old Serbian homeland. But instead of finding shelter there, they get caught up into a feud between a mafia godmother and her rivals. Brutal violence threatens to pull the sisters into a moral abyss – their bond is the only thing that can save them. “Blutschwestern” (Blood Sisters) is a feminist road movie set across Vienna and the Balkans, smashing the cliché of the submissive, peace-loving woman to smithereens. With Tarantino-esque black-comic humour, Wetherall-Grujić explores sisterhood, homeland and cold-blooded revenge.
