Synopsis: Sam is a recent college graduate. He returns back to his childhood home with his father and his little sister, Janie. After Sam unpacks everything to finally make himself at home for the time being, he notices that Janie is acting older than he expects her to. She is interested in college essays, business meetings, and driving a car. This hits home for Sam because he remembers being exactly at her age, but he feels a disconnect. Coming to terms with where both Sam and Janie are in their individual lives, time seems to be a blur as they are coming of age while keeping their tender relationship. Big Little Sister speaks to the hearts and minds of people who struggle to find out how to keep a loving relationship with their siblings.
