(Andrew Bujalski, 2009, USA 100 min.)
Beeswax revolves around the personal and professional entanglements of twin sisters Jeannie and Lauren, played by extraordinary newcomers Tilly and Maggie Harris from Austin, Texas.
Jeannie co-owns a vintage clothing store with Amanda, a semi-estranged friend she fears is trying to end their partnership. Lauren leads a looser, less tethered existence and is contemplating getting out of the country altogether. When Jeannie receives an e-mail from Amanda threatening a lawsuit, she calls her law-student ex- boyfriend for help. Eager for distraction from his own problems, he eagerly begins helping the sisters with theirs.
Imbued with an innate charm, Beeswax is a story about family, friends and lovers and those awkward moments that bring them all together.
With writer-director Bujalski.
