As Laura helps Susi prepare for her first date, we get a glimpse at the distressing, obsession that has actualized in Laura.The film conveys the complex dynamic and co-dependent relationships between the sisters. Although the older sister, Laura, is not the blind one, she cannot see the true reality, and she insists on inappropriate possessive relationship.
