“2 sisters, 1 closet” explores the assumption that there is a default, or normative form of sexuality. It tells the story of two sisters, one straight and one lesbian, who both undertake the process of coming out. Declaring sexual preference is highlighted as something that should not be limited to one group. The film follows two sisters as they discuss their own relationships to the idea and process of coming out. What does it mean for a lesbian or a straight woman to speak a sexual preference? Is it a more salient action for one sister than the other? What happens when assumptions are torn asunder in that process? “2 sisters, 1 closet” engages with these questions through an intimate and personal observation of just how each woman bares her true self to family.
