Synopsis
An amusingly bleak-hearted tale of two weather-lashed old spinsters.
Lol and Edna Pearce live on a remote and austere strip of coast.
They scrape out a miserable existence from the sea. THE PEARCE SISTERS is a tale of love, loneliness, guts, gore, nudity, violence, smoking, and cups of tea.
