Alexandria 1942 - King Farouk arrives in person to bless baby triplets, daughters of a wealthy Egyptian-Jewish family. Sixty years later, the turbulent events of these sisters’ extraordinary lives have clouded their relationship with secrets and lies. In a last ditch attempt to clear their guilty consciences they now confront their ghosts and seek forgiveness. An emotionally charged and tender drama about “sisters who stuck together and sacrificed their husbands and children for their love for each other, because they had no other way.” - Dina Zvi-Riklis
