Synopsis

Deb and Sisi follows homely Deborah Dyer (Mark Kenneth Woods) who tries everything she can to "suicide herself" when she finds herself still single on her 40th birthday. But all attempts fail as fate sends her car swerving right into Sisi Sickles (Michael Venus), a recently evicted promiscuous alcoholic. Seeing an opportunity for a quick buck, Sisi is soon at Deb's doorstep with a "broken umbilical cord or two". Stricken with guilt, a naïve Deb postpones her self-destructive plans to take care of Sisi, but quickly discovers that killing herself might be an easier option after all.

Critical reception

Yvonne Zacharais of the Vancouver Sun called the film "A delightful and hilarious film that would probably appeal to straight folks as much as queers."[2]

gollark: Brexit caused things to actually happen in 2021. I believe it was voted in in 2016. There was definitely sufficient advance warning.
gollark: It's not like there weren't several years of advance warning before Brexit *did* anything.
gollark: (people vaguely know that some areas of it do some things, and they work using something something interacting synapses)
gollark: You can get a rough high-level overview of it, but we've done that with brains.
gollark: They have billions of transistors in them, imaging them is hard itself, nobody actually knows how all the parts work, and they're designed with computerized design tools such that nobody knows what's going on with all the individual transistors either.
