11 Oct
Summary
- Sisters inherit mother's casting agency with a profit deadline.
- They must save the business from an estranged uncle's claim.
- A budding romance and family diaries offer new perspectives.
Hong Kong-based Cappu Films is handling international sales for the Australian dramedy "Her Last Laugh." The film, written, directed, and produced by Joy Hopwood, stars Peter Thurnwald and Ana Thu Nguyen.
The story follows Chinese Australian sisters Willow and Annika Lim, who inherit their mother's casting agency. A critical condition dictates that the business must turn a profit within twelve months, or it will be transferred to their estranged uncle.
Facing dwindling clients and competitive pressures, the sisters race against time to preserve their livelihood and their mother's creation. The narrative weaves in a budding romance and the discovery of family diaries, prompting the sisters to re-evaluate their inheritance and its true value.
"Her Last Laugh" extends Hopwood's exploration of relationships and Chinese Australian life. The film is slated for an Australian theatrical release in November, with international distribution anticipated through major streaming platforms.
