SYNOPSIS:

Blood Sisters delves into a tragic story of misery, abuse, and complex relationships, focusing on the lives of Judite, Alma and Agnes. Raised in a violent home, the eldest sister, Agnes, seeks solace in the church, but finds more suffering in the convent.

Meanwhile, Judite and Alma start working as maids for the wealthy Alencastro family, where their interactions with the lady and her daughter are marked by feelings of admiration, jealousy, and hatred.

As Agnes longs to escape the convent, Judite and Alma plot a sinister plan. In a shocking twist, the sisters commit one of the most infamous crimes in history, horribly dismembering the Alencastro family and preparing them for a macabre feast.

Based on the true story of the Papin sisters, this tale explores the dark depths of family dysfunction, mental disorder, manifestation of class warfare and the inherent capacity for cruelty within human nature.
